Zebra

When they are in a herd the zebra’s distinct stripes merge into a big mass and make it hard for predators to single out individual animals.




Zebras communicate with each other through various vocal expressions including sniffing and balking, but also through the position of their ears and tail.

Something else I learned while hunting Zebra...when you take an animal from a herd, once the herd recognizes that a member is missing, they will call out to the lost animal.

I had this happen on two of the three Zebra I took this past May in RSA.

While very interesting to learn, it was a little disconcerting to my wife to hear these calls for the MIA.

This was my first Safari and probably my greatest surprise was how much I loved hunting the Zebra. I was afraid they would be a push-over. Not at all! I found them more challenging to hunt than either of the Kudu I took...almost on a par with the Eland.

I could go back to Africa and hunt Zebra exclusively for a week, I think!
