I never saw a zebra this close before. A relative to the horse and donkey. Love that mane!
These photos were taken last Friday at the Food Revolution Day, Pittsburgh.
Zebra foals are supposed to be brown and cream at birth according to what I could google. Depends on the breed.
The hair might be brown but the skin is black underneath?
This one didn’t look that young to me.
But I was so surprised to see the brown color in the light.
The petting zoo goat tries the grass on the zebra’s side of the fence.
Looked brown to me
Thinking about petting the zebra
Reaching to pet the zebra
Almost
There! Petting the zebra.
Lots of lines and patterns with zebra stripes and chain link fence. On my way home…..
I never knew they were born brown either. Cool shots. I’d be the one petting him.
Thanks Cee for your visit and comment. I got that info online but perhaps someone who knows more about zebras can let us know.
I loved the zebra and goat face-to-face. Apparently the grass is always greener on the other side in the animal world, too.
Zebras are beautiful animals. I love the brown stripes.
Thanks for my edumacational lesson for the day. I had no idea that zebra foals tend to be brown or cream.
I’ve never seen a brown stripe on a zebra. Guess I didn’t see baby ones! I enjoyed these photos. I was rooting for the guy to work up the courage to pet him! 🙂
Definitely brown but on the face either black or dark brown Nice juxtapositioning of lines with the fence.
Such beautiful creatures, aren’t they? Great shots, Ruth. 🙂
I have never seen brown Zebras. Very cool captures, Ruth!
Are zebra white animals with black stripes or black animals with white stripes? or brown
Good questions!
That’s a fun post Ruth. Thank you for showing us the true colours of a zebra 🙂
I remember when I travelled to Africa in the eighties and saw them I was so surprised that they were actually not black.
