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!
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.
Oh, that’s a little unusual, a striped-spotted zebra π
Very unusual Kat! π
Indeed it is strange but strange are the ways of nature…it keeps us guessing and keep us surprising with its uniqueness..
True! I think this deviation works! π
Lovely animals.
Yes! And you’ve got to love their mohawks! π
Oh that’s amusing !! π
Strange certainly π
π
Beautifully captured! The little dots on the tops makes this zebra look so unique π I have never seen this type of zebra before π
I searched online and only found only one other report from the recent past Indah! Guessing it is pretty rare π
Who wouldn’t want to be unique? π
Ha, especially a female of the species!! Not sure it is a good thing to ‘stand out’ in the wild though π
Nature is always surprising us.
This was a particulalrly lovely surprise Sally π
What a lovely surprise! π Beautiful animals and well done, Madhu.
Thank you Dina. She was gorgeous in her semi-dappled coat. Her calf seems to have turned out ‘normal’. Or boring? π
A zebra with morse code on its back π
Beautiful!
Unbelievable! Thank you for sharing Madhu. This is amazing!!!
Thanks. I saved it for your challenge Paula π
This must be a rare and unusual sighting, Madhu. I have never seen dots before. You were in the right place at the right time.
I have painted them many times – No two are the same, but first time I’ve seen a spotted one π

Unique indeed!!!! π
well I always heard that no two zebras had there same spots – and this is more proof – and I love the grazing feel π
Oh dear, looks like some hanky panky associated with that ancestry. lol
Wow, I wonder how that happened π you were blessed!
How gorgeous!
He is beautiful! I am just learning how to Zentangle and this looks like an interesting pattern! π
Unique! Hopefully it doesn’t get excluded or something. But I guess the difference isn’t big enough. Great capture!
Oh, I love this, Madhu! π

I guess nothing is actually too strange for nature?
That is entirely cool! What a great catch.
Oh Id love to see them in the wild so much
nicely spotted π
Ha, I’ve never read that quote until now. It’s the perfect statement for your little polka-dotted friend. Love it.
Such a fun take on Paula’s challenge! Very apt, Madhu (and a lovely photo) π
Absolutely gorgeous! π
