[Leica] IMG: Zebras

[Philippe]

Grazers seem to live in packs irrespective of the species they belong to. The first photo in today’s series features zebras, impalas, and on the left hand-side a buffalo lying in the shade (view large). 
We were told that thus they, collectively, are more aware of the dangers using the better hearing of one, the farther sight of the other, etc.

Plus four images (click right), focused on zebras - note the bird that feeds on the lice and insects of its host).
One is BW, so that you may also see their souls, as per Uncle ted OC ;-)
Also, the stripes are said to be a nice jamming device that fools flies, and it seems to work. A good test in the field for moiré too.


I’ll be culling them down after a couple of days as usual, I mean the pixies displayed on the lug ...
