Grevy's Zebra

"Grevy’s zebra can be distinguished by their thinner stripes, larger bodies, white bellies, and bigger, rounder ears. Aside from their physical differences, the two species also have remarkably different social structures. Plains zebra’s social interactions are characterized by relatively stable harems (or groups of females with a male), whereas Grevy’s zebra have much more tenuous social relationships, with loosely associated females passing through different males’ territories."

Comparing both photos I can easily see the difference- I doubt I'd be able to in the wild:-)

He is a beauty Esther. Thank you for the information as it makes it easier to spot the differences. I do notice the marking on their tales give them the appearance of plaits!!

A terrific capture. Best wishes Carol
