There are two types of Zebra in the world:
Type 1: Black body colour + white stripes
Type 2: White body colour + black stripes
Can you notice the differences?
Haha..... this is just a joke to make you have a big smile now@
Enjoy your smiling sunday@
I was trawling through some old images and found this one from a trip to Namibia. I thought these fighting Zebras were worth a viewing.
They are very beautiful, I wished I can get them closely and touched their soft and beautiful skin, they are so strong with lines on their body it's look like have been painted perfectly!
This is one of my personal favourites. I loved the way the adults huddled around the young Zebra to protect him/her. Zebra are really awesome animals. This image has been converted to B&W to accentuate the contrast between the black stripes.

Zebra Finch is the most common finch of Central Australia and ranges over most of the continent, avoiding only the cool moist south and some areas of the tropical far north. It can also be found natively in Indonesia and East Timor. The bird has been introduced to Puerto Rico and Portugal.
Zebra are iconic of Africa and have been featured in local art for more than 20,000 years. These are plains zebra (Equus quagga), the more common or widespread of the the two species we encountered. They are easy to identify as their stripes wrap all the way around their bellies. No two stripe patterns are the same. Zebra families consist of a single stallion, several mares, and their young offspring. Multiple families come together to form large herds. Ambsoseli National Park, Kenya, Africa. Conservation status: Near Threatened
the muddy river running all over the land
the grass was like a painting
the wind was warm as the trees danced
there the zebras would run around the water
like little children excited
as the sun grew warmer, one zebra stood in its light

The Grévy's zebra is the largest of all wild equines. It is particularly mule-like in appearance; the head is large, long, and narrow with elongated nostril openings; the ears are very large, rounded, and conical and the neck is short but thick. The zebra's muzzle is ash-grey to black in colour with the lips having whiskers. The mane is tall and erect; juveniles have a mane that extends to the length of the back and shortens as they reach adulthood.
As with all zebra species, the Grevy's zebra's pelage has a black and white striping pattern. The stripes are narrow and close-set, being broader on the neck, and they extend to the hooves.[ The belly and the area around the base of the tail lack stripes which is unique to the Grevy's zebra.
Black stripeson a white background or vice versa? Embryological evidence has shown that the zebra's background colour is dark and the white is an addition. The stripes of the zebra may serve to make it look bigger than it actually is or disrupt its outline. It appears that a stationary zebra can be inconspicuous at night or in shade. Experiments have suggested that the stripes polarise light in such a way that it discourages biting horse-flies in a manner not shown with other coat patterns. Other studies suggest that, when moving, the stripes may confuse observers, such as mammalian predators and biting insects, via two visual illusions, the wagon wheel effect, where the perceived motion is inverted, and the barber pole illusion, where the perceived motion is in a wrong direction.
