A black baby zebra

Earlier this month Michael Fitt came across this newborn zebra in the north-western area of the Okavango Delta, in Vumbura Concession. The zebra has a rather amazing dark colour due to a small genetic abnormality linked to the amount of melanin affecting the pigmentation of the fur.



Some lovely photos  Very Happy

Africa Geographic - A black baby zebra 768480 Some really lovely shots thanks Lai for the link, really unusual, I do hope he survives, but as it says in the story he really will stand out as a target for predators. Keeping my fingers x for him
