Zebras are among Africa’s best-known animals – and yet they are often underestimated on safari. In this episode, it is about far more than just black-and-white stripes: Why are zebras striped? How do they live in their family groups? How do they defend themselves against lions and crocodiles? And what can their mane, belly, and behavior reveal about their state of health?

I talk about social structure, digestion, vocalizations, reproduction, and the remarkable strategies zebras use to survive in the savanna. The episode also explores tsetse flies, dust baths, allogrooming, and the question of why zebras may be seen often on safari – but are anything but boring.

An episode for everyone who wants not just to look on safari, but to understand. ……………………………………………………………………
