   Another fabulous post dear de Wets. Superb images. Strangely we just watched a National Geographic series on Africa with wildebeest migration and as you all know the zebras are never far behind. Have a great rest of the week. We’re hoping to go to our own “wilds of Florida” today but so far the weather is not as forecast!!

      Thanks very much Joey! Did you make it into the “wilds of Florida” as you had hoped?

   Sjoe – so naby die diere bly maar ‘n opwindende ondervinding. Mooi fotos.

      Baie dankie Spokie. Dis darem maar wonderlik wanneer enige dier hul gang so gaan asof jy wat hulle dophou glad nie bestaan nie ne!

    These are fantastic! The zebras we saw were generally fairly docile. This is very interesting– great photos.

       Thank you Jane! Normally they’re so peaceful and affectionate to their herd mates, but beware their temper when their position in the hierarchy is threatened!

    Great photos. Male zebras? Just curious… 😉 Helen

       Thanks Helen. These were males yes, but the mares can be just as quarrelsome!

    Wonderful post! Did we tell you, Jean has visited Tanzania, where she was fascinated by zebras (especially their “barking”)? It was from a distance, at Ngorngoro Crater; and closer, in subsequent days. We did not witness this behavior, however. Thanks for this!

       Thank you for visiting with us again guys! Zebra’s calls are so quintessentially African, I’m sure you hear the sound ringing in your ears every time you see a zebra photo?

       Thanks Jane! Yes, we’re very unhurried when it comes to exploring our wild places. And you should see us dawdle when it’s time to leave these beautiful places and head back home to Pretoria!
