We came across this gathering of zebras and they all seemed to be resting their heads on each other. Most of them had paired off but there were groups of three or more. It was interesting to move down the road and see pair after pair relaxing together.

Mary said she wanted a good head shot of a zebra so here it is. The group in the middle were in a pasture that was thick with flies and their tails and ears were going a mile a minute. I have a video of a congo line of of behinds with tails constantly flicking. The poor zebra on the right has a real problem – his hair on his tail is missing. Either he was just quick enough to get away from a lion or maybe he lost it in a fight . The loss of hair did not stop him from flicking the stub to try and chase away the flies.
