About Zebras are horselike animals, standing about 120 to 140 cm(47 to 55 inches) at the shoulder. The species are easily distinguished by the pattern of stripes. These are individually wide and widely spaced in Burchell's zebra, some races of which have lighter “shadow stripes” between the main stripes. The northern races of this species are more fully striped than the southern ones, in which the striping of the lower legs tends to give way to white. In the extinct quagga, the striping was confined to the head, neck, and forequarters, the back being solid brown. The stripes of Grevy's zebra are narrow and closely spaced, and the belly is white. The mountain zebra is small and has a peculiar gridlike pattern of stripes on the rump.

Zebras live in small family groups consisting of a stallion and several mares with their foals. In Grevy's zebra the mares may form separate groups from the stallions. With plentiful food, small groups may coalesce into large herds, but the smaller groups retain their identities. Zebras often form mixed herds with antelopes, such as wildebeests, which gain protection from predators by the alertness of the zebras. Herds may migrate long distances to find suitable grasses on which to feed.

All three zebra species have decreased in abundance through human activities, and the mountain zebra and Grevy's zebra are endangered. The readiness with which most zebras breed in captivity offers hope of maintaining reservoirs of zebras from which wild populations might be restored.

Be well and enjoy your weekend! xxJen

Thanks Jen. We made it back safely. That was just SUCH a blast! Highlights were cycling out of Tanger port and through the town (it's a place I know well but have never cycled there before), finding the incredible infrastructure that is being put into this part of Morocco that just five years ago was still extremely remote (new port, new motorway, new railway), cycling up for two hours into the clouds behind Jebel Musa (one of the Pillars of Hercules), blasting down the other side into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.

No Bedouin tents - in fact, accommodation was not easy - and no drinking, not even a beer last night!

There's no wind forecast for a while now, so maybe I'll have some time for photography!

Hope you have a great weekend,
AJ

Dear Jen!
Very well observed and planned shot. Wonderful reflections on the surface of water. Good sharpness and details. For kidding in Turkey we are calling Zebras as a "Donkey with Pyjama"
warm Hugs.

So, do I gather from their shadow stripes that these are Burchell's? CC

Well, now I know this I should put more of these on my sweet girl, I have many of these kind of animals, but I dont want to overload UF with wildness:)) For you it certainly must be like having good memories on this just like me, I really would love to go there next month too, but I think it will be too cold for my daughter....
Its much colder here now, such a pity just before weekend, we are still waiting for rain and my grass and flowers do need rain so desperately!!!
Having a bqq at friends will be difficult tomorrow if the rain starts, but we will find some solution:))) Wishing you a relaxt weekend too my dear and enjoy making shots and spoling your men...loll or the other way round of course, even better:))))))))
Big hugs and kissesss, Jenxx

Wacht nog steeds op jouw eigen foto's dear Paul, ik weet dat jij hele mooie hebt, dus waarom je er niet tussen gestort, er zijn vast heel veel leuke dames die jou daardoor ook en nog meer gaan waarderen:)))) Dank voor je lieve commentaar, was je ooit in Etosha, ik kan me niet meer herinneren wat je daarover gezegd hebt, echt de moeite waard om verder dan Cannes te reizen én de weg over te steken:)) Hoewel ik Parijs al mooi zou vinden.....
Veel liefs en een fijn weekend, une gros embrasse mon chéri, Jenxx

Missed you today my sweety, suppose you didnt have an appointment:)))!!! Yes, these striped horses are beautiful, why cant they put them in wild in your country, like they once did with camels and rabits:))
You can always come and enjoy Namibia together with me and Botswana, there I think are the most wild and greatest gameparks, would love to show you....
Be well my dear and enjoy your weekend, big hugs and xx Jen

Chère Jen,
J'aime beaucoup tes 8 chevaux dont quatre debout et quatre en acrobatie. Mon chapeau pour ce peintre qui n'a fait aucune concession de palette en supprimant tous les couleurs sauf les noirs et les blancs.
Avec toi comme photographe on trouvera au moins toujours des endroits où mieux traverser la route,
amitiés de Paul

Dank je Alain, ja ze waren zeer alert, maardat zijn wilde dieren altijd, eigenlijk wel mooi dat oogcontact;)) Bedankt vooral voor je weet wel:))
Ik weet het ook niet zo goed van het frame, te druk? Ik zit nog niet zo in het kaderen, vindt het ook lastig om te kiezen, ben blij dat je er wat over zegt:)
Hoe is het weer daar, hier staat het op instorten, het mooie weer dan, meer wind en kouder, wilde eindelijk bbqen:))) Liefs Jenxx

very good capture Jen, the stripes and the reflections.. I like the blue cast from the water, it looks very good with the stripes..
Is there another zebra in the background that is not in the frame.. just wondering what is that reflected thing on the water aside from the 4 zebras.
great shot! very good lesson for the day ;)
regards..

Mooie foto Jen,
drinken en terwijl toch maar de fotograaf in het oog houden :)
Prachtig qua kleur en reflecties, etc....je weet wel. Maar die frame? Dat weet ik nog niet zo gauw? Een iets bedeesder wit lijntje als kadertje zou de foto meer eer aandoen.
Maar ja, jij bent de baas hé :)
Keep up the good work zou ik zo zeggen en nog een hele fijne dag,

Alain
