Two zebras wrangling with each other. it was not a very serious fight, but rather a playful squabble in which one kept on trying to bite the others ears or heels, like an annoying little sibling, perhaps.

Zebras
A group of zebras posed beautifully on top of a hill. Zebras often live in harems of one stallion with up to six mares. So there may be space for more in this group!
Zebra family portrait
A mother zebra and her young, in the early morning light against a black background. What a nice family portrait! (If I may say so myself…)
At mother’s side
A baby zebra seeking the safety and comfort of her mother’s side. I love the stripes on stripes!
Baby zebra
Such a cute little baby zebra!
I was surprised to see so many baby animals in Pilanesberg last week, since winter is coming soon. But I guess that for now there is enough food to be had from the long grass.

Young zebra
Rietvlei at the moment is so amazingly beautiful! The fields are green and purple and yellow… all the colours of an enchanting summer. This young zebra obliged for a portrait in front of a field of purple flowers. The animals don’t really seem to like the flowers, though, they prefer their grass to be green!
Baby zebra grazing
A small baby zebra is gingerly tasting the green shoots between the rocks on the ground. Zebras are born after thirteen months of gestation. They start nibbling on grass within a few weeks from birth. The coat of a baby zebra is more brownish than the clean black and white of the adult. It is also adorably fluffy!

Sunset zebra
A zebra grazing on a newly green field at sunset, while the burnt hills in the background are colored by a purple haze. This picture just makes me want to pack up and travel into the wild again!
