Zebra, let's see yours
After my hunt and realizing how difficult hunting zebra with a bow can be, I've become a big fan of the zebra. So much so that I've been looking into the various species/subspecies found in Africa. While some are very easy to tell apart, there are others that seem too close to call to the untrained eye.
Five years ago, I would have told you a 'zebra is a zebra, is a zebra' and fully believed there was only one kind. Boy, how wrong this Texas boy was.
Zebra are a lot like the whitetail, bear, or sheep in that a hunter could go for the 'grand slam of zebra' just like the 'tiny ten' of the antelope. With the exception of one or two that are protected, the rest can be hunted.
So in my boredom of 'shelter in place' I was hoping I could get you men/ladies to post pictures of your zebras. Doesn't matter the species, the angle of the animal, front, back, side, alive, dead, mounted, skin, etc. I'm just curious what the members can contribute from their collection and add to this post.
I'll start with one of my zebra, I won't identify it, just post it, and leave it there for discussion as to subspecies of Plains zebra.
