We arrived safely at the final stop on our Summer Trek itinerary: Mountain Zebra National Park.

Ek het julle foto’s van Mountain Zebra Nasionale Park baie geniet – dis altyd lekker om goeie tye te herleef wanneer mens na ander se foto’s kyk!
So, there are black and white zebras in South Africa as well as the brown-black-and-white variety. Besides the Cape Mountain Zebra, are there other types of black-and-white only zebras native to South Africa?
I think that ground squirrel is giving you the “stink eye” for taking his photo without permission! >grin<
We only have two of the three full species of zebra in our country, John. The Mountain Zebra and the Plains Zebra. In East Africa you’ll find the third, largest and most endangered species: the Grevy’s Zebra, which also doesn’t have the brown “shadow stripes” our southern plains zebras do.
You’re not wrong about that Ground Squirrel giving me an angry look; he was obviously used to being fed out of vehicles – something we don’t do as it is harmful to the animals – and rather bitter about not getting a handout!
Such a variety to be seen in this lovely park. The terrapin is so expressive!
Do you also see the smile on that terrapin’s face, Carol!? I think he was very pleased with himself making it onto that precarious perch!
😊
You couldn’t have chosen a more delightful stopover!
Driving past Mountain Zebra is a sin I will hopefully only ever commit once in my life, Anne!
I love the variety, Dries.
It’s one of the reasons why we love Mountain Zebra National Park so much, Janet!
Mal oor jou foto’s van die “yellow mongoose” – dit lyk asof die outjies wyd versprei is waar julle getoer het. Hoekom word dit in Afrikaans ‘n muishond genoem?
Ek dink die naam het maar iets uit te waai met hul hondagtige gesiggies en slanke lyfies wat so maklik in n tonnel kan verdwyn, Tannie Frannie. Maar by eerste aanhoor dink mens mos maar aan n muishond as n swart-en-wit dier wat n stank afgee as hy bang raak.
