Zebra are very social animals. Not just the stalions fight, but their fights are much more prolonged and violent. Sometimes the fights last twenty minutes or so. Sometimes less than a minute or two. When they aren't fighting, they are often using each other's back as a resting place. There's always a lot of social interaction, both physical and verbal. I can hear their heehaw as I write this.
Une légende africaine demande si le zèbre est blanc à rayures noires ou noir à rayures blanches. Cette question a généré de nombreuses légendes ou réponses fantaisistes mais des explications plus scientifiques existent.
Zebras are several species of African equids (horse family) united by their distinctive black and white stripes. Their stripes come in different patterns, unique to each individual. They are generally social animals that live in small harems to large herds.

Had to take one last Zebra shot before putting away the big gun lenses before boarding our plane.
Maasai Mara, Kenya.
also called the plains zebra, Equus quagga, formerly Equus burchelli Body stripes are less numerous and broader than that of the Cape Mountain Zebra, whereas body stripes extend around the belly. Leg striping is less prominent. Faded shadow stripes rest between the bold, broad stripes on the haunch.
Elke zebra heeft een uniek strepenpatroon. Er is bovendien een sterk verschil van het uiterlijk van de strepen bij de verschillende soorten. Bij de steppezebra of de gewone zebra (Equus burchellii of Equus quagga) lopen de strepen door op de buik, bij de andere soorten is de buik wit. Over het waarom van het streepjespatroon bestaat discussie. Enkelen denken dat de strepen dienen als camouflage. Deze overtuiging stuit op heel wat weerwerk, bedenkend dat de grassen op de savanne noch wit, noch zwart zijn. Anderen menen dat het streepjespatroon verwarrend werkt voor de leeuw, de grootste vijand van de zebra. Doordat de leeuw kleurenblind is zouden de dansende streepjes hem kunnen verwarren. Andere wetenschappers zien er een afweermechanisme in tegen bijtende vliegen[1] zoals de tseetseevlieg, of een louter sociaal herkenningssymbool.
The Ngorongoro crater is one of the largest volcanic calderas in the world. The crater houses about 25,000 animals of very different species. It is considered one of the smaller areas where it is possible to see the big five, the five most representative animals of Africa: the lion, the leopard, the elephant, the buffalo and the rhinoceros (if the hippopotamus is included, then it should be enlarged the denomination to the big six). In addition, in the circle it is possible to observe, with a bit of luck, the exotic black rhinoceros, possibly the biggest attraction of the park.
