  1. Beautifully captured! The little dots on the tops makes this zebra look so unique πŸ™‚ I have never seen this type of zebra before πŸ™‚

    1. I searched online and only found only one other report from the recent past Indah! Guessing it is pretty rare πŸ™‚

    1. Ha, especially a female of the species!! Not sure it is a good thing to ‘stand out’ in the wild though πŸ™‚

    1. Thank you Dina. She was gorgeous in her semi-dappled coat. Her calf seems to have turned out ‘normal’. Or boring? πŸ™‚

  2. How unusual! Zebras wee the animal I picked to study and observe during my college zoology class. It took me a while to identify each one by their unique stripes. They really are all so different, but I never saw any with spots!

  3. well I always heard that no two zebras had there same spots – and this is more proof – and I love the grazing feel πŸ™‚

  4. He is beautiful! I am just learning how to Zentangle and this looks like an interesting pattern! πŸ™‚

  5. Unique! Hopefully it doesn’t get excluded or something. But I guess the difference isn’t big enough. Great capture!

  6. Madhu, I’m glad we got to see this thanks to your keen eye! Zebras are such gorgeous creatures – they’ve been my sister’s favourite since a very young age.
