I’m in the process of changing up my website and adding additional subdomains, but still a work in progress. All that is to say that I hope this post goes through. It might not. Or you might get multiple notifications. Who knows. What I do know is that I was very close to this zebra. With those large eyes placed on either side of the head, zebras have a wide field of vision (almost 350 degrees) which helps detect predators from nearly all directions. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 200, f/5.6 at 1/640th of a second.

That’s amazing. Thank you
Thanks Peg. Nice when you can get this close.
Love this!
Thanks Ruth. I was with you and Allisan for this one on that first morning (well, you’re second) in Nairobi National Park.
I didn’t realize that the positions of their eyes did this. Thanks for sharing that info! BTW, great shot, as usual.
All sorts of adapted defense mechanisms on the African savanna.
Beautiful, Sean!
Thanks Sue. The zebras never disappoint.
