Out of Africa - Zebras




I am just going to do several posts for Out of Africa. It is south of Sedona and a lot of fun. Starting with the zebras.

The smaller baby zebra in the photos is the oldest. It was premature. And yes they are born with brown stripes which turn black as they mature.

After listening to the guide, I have no desire to be a zebra. Starting around three, female zebras spend the rest of their life pregnant or nursing. There may be time off for seniors. The pregnancy last 13 months and produces an 80 pound baby.

I am glad I am not a female zebra.
