Who doesn't love zebras? Especially baby zebras. Nice behavioural shot. I like the fact that the background gives it a sense of place. Well done.

Hello Ken

Like the Natural , relaxed interaction of the adult & baby Zebras. First time seeing the belly of mature zebra. Gotta love those geometrical stripes. with the centre belly band tying them together.

Thanks for sharing

Bill

This is great, the poses are so different, opposites in many ways. Excellent composition too, the placement of the zebras works well. A+

A cool shot showing some behavior and the young zebra. I'd be interested in seeing a B&W version
