Common Plains Zebra & Foal
Plains Zebra are the most common of the four species in the wild. Each zebra has a unique pattern of stripes, just like a human’s fingerprint. It is thought that this allows zebras to recognise individuals within their herd, and could be particularly useful for a mare and her foal, recognising each other. These stripes also help protect the zebra from predators. Together in a herd, the mass of stripes may help blur the shape of an individual zebra and so make it difficult to be singled out and chased by a lioness
