A few facts about the Zebra

Taken at Parc Safari ,Hemmingford,Quebec.

Zebras are social herd animals, for the most part, living in family groups with a stallion, several mares, and their offspring. During certain times of the year, these groups gather together to form loosely associated herds of up to several hundred, but the family groups still stay together within these larger groups. Zebras communicate with one another with facial expressions and sounds. They make loud braying or barking sounds and soft snorting or whuffling sounds. The position of their ears, how wide open their eyes are, and whether their mouths are open or their teeth are bared all mean something. (Ears flat back, for example, means trouble, or you better follow orders!) Zebras also reinforce their bonds with one another by grooming each other. You might see two zebras standing head to back, apparently biting each other, but they are really only nibbling on each other with their teeth to pull out loose hair and get a good scratch.

Beautiful portrait Rob.
Looks like the zebr is smiling at you and setts it best face :)
Sharpness is great and details in the mane wonderful.
I also love the low shooting angle you did use and therefore the sky is a lovely background.
Thanks for sharing.
