Description

These young zebras are enjoying playing together. Grant's zebras are a subspecies of the plains zebra. Zebra foals have soft, fuzzy fur, and their stripes are usually brown and white at first. They can walk just 20 minutes after birth and run after an hour, so they can keep up with the herd, and each foal learns its mother's stripe pattern to stay close to her.
