Grant's Zebra

Equus quagga boehmi

Description:

These Striking zebra covered the entire plains of Amboseli as far as you could see and the noise they made en mass must have travelled for miles. The one in the first 2 photos is a pregnant female and interestingly this does not make them run any slower when the herd moes en mass so they dont stand out from the herd or make them a target for Plains predators like Lions, Cheetahs and Leopards.

Habitat:

Seen across the plains of Amboseli national park, Kenya.

Notes:

Grants Zebra are a subspecies.The distribution of this subspecies is in Zambia west of the Luangwa river and west to Kariba, Shaba Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, north to the Kibanzao Plateau. In Tanzania north from Nyangaui and Kibwezi into southwestern Kenya as far as Sotik. It can also be found in eastern Kenya and east of the Great Rift Valley into southernmost Ethiopia.
