Stripes!

Three different species of Zebra exist today. The Plains Zebra (Equus quagga) is the most common one and occurs all over sub-Saharan Africa (with six recognized subspecies).

The two other species are the Mountain Zebra (Equus zebra) only found in Southern Africa (mainly in Namibia and the Western parts of South Africa), and Grevy’s Zebra (Equus grevyi) only occurring in East Africa. The latter two species are threatened by extinction.

This picture is of a Burchell’s Zebra (Zebra quagga burchelli or Damaraland Zebra or Zululand Zebra), a Southern subspecies of the Plains Zebra, which can be found on Thanda Safari. In difference to all other Zebras they have a few grey shadow stripes between their white and black stripes.
