Thirsty Stripes at the Watering Hole

Five zebras line up shoulder to shoulder by a quiet pond. They bend their long necks and sip, noses making tiny circles on the water. Their stripes zigzag like piano keys across backs and legs, a slurp-slurp parade in black and white. Ears point forward while tails hang still.

The pond acts like a mirror, showing wiggly reflections of every zebra. Smooth rocks rest at the edges, and bushy shrubs fill the far bank. Soft ripples spread out under each muzzle, keeping the scene calm. Color the sky, the grass tufts, and the ripples to bring the thirsty herd to life.

Fun Fact!

A zebra's teeth are perfectly adapted for grazing; its sharp front incisors clip the grass, and its large, flat back molars grind it up like a millstone.

  3. 3 Blend sandy beige and tan around the shore and rocks for a dusty look.
  4. 4 Add soft green shrubs and a pale blue sky to finish the savanna.
