Stripy Swimmer at the Watering Hole

A zebra slides into cool water, neck and head held high. His ears stick up like little sails while ripples curl around his nose. Curvy stripes flow over his face and cheeks, twisting like puzzle paths. A short, bristly mane stands straight along his neck.

More stripes sweep over his back as he wades, and the water makes soft wiggles all around him. His eye watches the quiet shore, calm and curious. Wide open space surrounds the scene, ready for sky, grass, or a sun. The picture feels still and splashy at the same time.

Fun Fact!

A young stallion in a bachelor herd will practice fighting and build strength until it's ready to try and form its own harem.
