When I was a very young child, there was nothing I wanted to much as to become a zebra when I grew up. I don’t know how I came by this notion, but it was certainly gone by the time I finished high school.
I guess when you run a wildlife sanctuary in Africa, you wind up with a lot of unusual pets. Damn, I don’t even know anybody who has a pet zebra. They’re not very common around these parts.
Jambo! Mr. Nature here, and today’s safari is a proper safari that takes us to somewhere in Africa to look in on the zebras.
The waterhole can be a dangerous place for zebras. Ambush predators are seldom far away. These zebras are barking up a storm and going on the alert because one of them has detected a lion nearby and given the alarm.
You’d think a striped horse would sound more like a horse; but nothing sounds quite like a zebra. I used to want to be one, when I grew up; but I never did master the zebra bark.
