Zebras are definitely one of the most sighted species on most African safaris. In the Masai Mara of Kenya, they’re all over the place. That said, I still love seeing and photographing them. Most foals are born during the rainy season of March and May, making our visit in June perfect for shots like this. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 450, f/5.6 at 1/1250th of a second.
I love the composition & can’t say enough about the contrast of bold black & white patterns in the zebras’ coats against the muted & soft focus of the background colors. Another Sean Crane wildlife photo that holds the viewer spellbound!

Thanks Sue. For this one, I was able to get out of the vehicle and onto the ground for a proper perspective.
I didn’t know they could curl their tails like this Mom’s. Our horse certainly couldn’t do that.
Glad you noticed that tail. I had a few almost identical shots but chose this one for that detail.
I love foals. I pity fools.
