No, that is not a striped horse that mom is feeding – that is a zebra.
Some of you may be thinking that mom took a jaunt to Africa. Not exactly…
Get this – that zebra is living in the Green Mountain State, i.e. Vermont!! And mom is up there this weekend visiting family & friends – and yes zebras too!
ZEBRA FACTS:
- Their stripes come in different patterns unique to each individual.
- It was previously believed that zebras were white animals with black stripes, however, the animal’s background color is dark and the white stripes are additions.
- When chased, a zebra will zig-zag from side to side, making it more difficult for the predator.
- Zebras have excellent eyesight. It is believed that they can see in color. Like most ungulates, the zebra has its eyes on the sides of its head, giving it a wide field of view. Zebras also have night vision.
