We were fortunate to witness these two plains zebras settling a dispute at Ithala Game Reserve, during our recent summer visit there. They were so close to our vehicle we almost felt every bite and kick they dealt one another…
More from Ithala soon!

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!!

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!

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!
