Pilanesberg Game Reserve is in the Bojanala Region of the North West Province, adjacent to Sun City. Set in the crater of a long extinct volcano, the Park ranks among the largest of the parks in South Africa (it is in fact the fourth largest park) and covers an area of 55 000 hectare.
The beauty of Pilanesberg is reflected in a large central lake, the Mankwe Dam. Over time, wind and water have carved a spectacular landscape with rocky outcrops, open grasslands, wooded valleys and thickets. Pilanesberg National Park accommodates virtually every mammal of southern Africa. Also home to the Big Five.
El Parque de la Naturaleza de Cabárceno no es un zoológico convencional ni un parque natural. Es un espacio naturalizado por la mano del hombre, a partir de la belleza primitiva de su paisaje kárstico, sobre las 750 ha de una antigua explotación minera a cielo abierto.
En el Parque de la Naturaleza de Cabárceno la vida se desarrolla en el ambiente más natural posible para los animales que lo habitan. Salvo la alimentación que se les facilita, el resto de las actividades están marcadas por su casi total libertad e instinto. Prácticamente todos ellos desencadenan peleas y luchas en época de celo por el control de las hembras y desde luego, salvo el instinto de supervivencia, el resto de sus sentidos son tan salvajes como en su hábitat natural.
En la actualidad por su enorme calidad, las instalaciones del Parque de la Naturaleza de Cabárceno están entre las mejor valoradas por los organismos que vigilan las condiciones de vida de los animales.
El Parque de la Naturaleza de Cabárceno está concebido con fines educativos, culturales, científicos y recreativos, habiéndose convertido en uno de los mayores atractivos turísticos del norte de España.

This pair of Zebra's took a break from their feeding routine to closely monitor our vehicle standing near them.

Hearst Castle Estate, San Simeon, California
The eccentric newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst kept a full menagerie on the grounds of his "castle" in San Simeon. The carnivorous animals were kept caged near the castle, while a sprawling fenced area held fifty species of herbivores. Beginning in 1937 (due to financial difficulties) Hearst began selling off or donating the animals to zoos, although a few of them were never "re-homed" and remained on the castle's grounds. A few still survive today and, zebras may occasionally be seen grazing with herd of cattle in the pastures near Route 1.
PLEASE, NO GRAPHICS, BADGES, OR AWARDS IN COMMENTS. They will be deleted.
A zebra foal can tell his mother apart from other zebras in the herd and knows to stay close to her by memorizing her unique stripe pattern. The memorization happens just after a zebra is born and is called imprinting. Grevy’s zebras have the skinniest stripes of any zebra species; the stripes run all the way down their back to a white belly.
The San Diego Zoo Safari Park has had 86 Grevy's zebra births. Each birth at the Safari Park is significant, since the wild Grevy’s zebra population has been ravaged by anthrax outbreaks, dropping its ranks to an estimated wild population of 2,250. San Diego Zoo Global is a member of the Grevy’s Zebra Trust, an independent wildlife conservation organization in Kenya, and its researchers are working with other conservation groups to help preserve the population.
Taken at West Midlands Safari Park. This lovely chap came towards us and stopped to pose while I took some pictures.
