Zebras struggle, safari photographic Delta of the Okawango, Botswana. The zebra is one of the animals most typical of Africa, she stands out for his for his streaky hair. In the exterior rim of the Reservation of Moremi we saw a spectacular zebras struggle, two males fighting for the supremacy. When we decide to sleep in the exterior rim of the park of Moremi we think that we would have to wait on the following day to be able to see something interesting but a few hours later we discover pleasantly our error. The rim of the reservation (Moremi Game Reserve) is a human delimitation, but the animals are equally to one and another shore of the river Kwai in the delta of the Okawango. The day in the exterior rim we saw finally lions, zebras, hippopotami, elephants, antelopes of diverse classes, eagles and I am going to stop for not doing the eternal post.
Behavior: The zebras move in familiar groups of between 4 and 6 animals formed by a stud, mares and his colts. Although it is common to observe major groups only they remain together in short periods of time and the households preserve his integrity. The males who fight against more force to preserve or to win it obtains more females. The studs that do not possess matching units join in groups of bachelors or walk alone. They are mixed usually with other groups of species, like the gnu, the topi and the gazelles. There are sedentary groups and others realize seasonal migrations. In Botswana it is common to see migrations of big groups.
The zebras that we could see in the delta of the okawango, in the route there laughed lost sound zebras of burchel. The burchel zebra has a length of between 2.3 and 3 meters, a 43-56 cm tail, a height in the 1.3 meters cross and a weight between 290 and 300 kg.
Distribution: The zebra is the most widespread and abundant équido of all those who live in Africa. 5 recognized subspecies exists, although we have found some sources who affirm that there are 7. They are distributed extensively by the East and and south of Africa, with concentrations that overcome the half million and centred in Kenya and Tanzania. The preserves of fighter and the preserves deprived of Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa also assemble important number. For subspecies Grant's zebra appears by any East of Africa and the peninsula of Somalia, that of the top Zambeze in Zaire, Angola and the west of Zambia; the Crwhayi zebra appears in the north of Mozambique, Malawi and the East of Zambia, the Chapman zebra in the south of Mozambique and that of Damara in Namibia and Sudáfirca.
The entire population is about 700.000 copies although it is diminishing for the hunting both for his meat and for his attractive skin. They live in the arboreal and herbaceous savanna from the sea level up to 4.000 meters of altitude. His major predators are the lions, the hyenas and the wild dogs.
Zebra or Zebra? As to the Spanish Royal Academy the zebra is an animal solípedo of the southern Africa, seemed to the donkey, of yellowish white hair, with brown or black transverse lists. There are several species, and some of the size of the horse. The noun zebra also is correct but it is in desuetude. Nevertheless in the searches in Spain of last 12 months the word zebra to overcome zebra. So the decision stays to taste of the consumer.
Wikipedia curiosity: The word “zebra“ does not represent a reality from the evolutionary point of view, but it groups artificially three species according to a character (the streaky overcoat) that is not derived, but primitive. The streaks appear also in major or minor measurement in the paws and loin of the donkeys and wild horses, and they are evident more hard in the hybrids like the mules, although between the ancestors there should be no zebra of for way, demonstrating that the presence of streaks is an ancient character inside the genre Equus (zebras, horses and donkeys) and not one proper derivative of a sub-group inside this one.
