Grevy’s zebra is the largest and most endangered of the three zebra species, with fewer than 3,000 remaining in the wild. Found primarily in northern Kenya, they are distinguished by their narrow stripes, large rounded ears, and white bellies. Unlike plains zebras, which live in stable family groups, Grevy’s zebras have a much looser social structure, with individuals frequently moving between temporary herds. We always see a few Grevy’s zebra when visiting Samburu National Reserve — this year we saw a lot. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 180-600mm lens (at 450mm) ISO 500, f/6 at 1/2000th of a second.
That is a stunning image, Sean! The overlay of the vivid black & white zebra markings against the horizontal background lines of blue, brown & green offer a memorable statement. The zebra’s raised right hoof serves as a lovely punctuation mark!

This one looks strong and healthy.
