Burchell's zebras, Rietvlei Nature Reserve, South Africa
The fashion forward zebra is mainly in Southern and Eastern Africa. The most attention-grabbing feature of a zebra, of course, is those unique stripes. The stripes allow them to blend with the environment and make it difficult for their predators to recognize them as individual animals, giving them strength in numbers. A zebra foal is born with reddish brown stripes which eventually changes to black and white. Male zebras are referred to as Stallions, as male horses and female zebras are referred to as mares.
