Closing time

“You talkin’ to ME?”

Groups of zebras do make my eyeballs feel like they’re spinning.

Another innocent victim of modern technology…(sent into the void what could have been avoided)

Not long ago some researcher reported his finding that zebra stripes evolved to confuse biting insects.

But if that were true, I would expect there to be far more striped animals in the world.

I learned that recently while on an African Safari. Also a group of zebras is called a “Dazzle”. Makes sense, right?

needs to carry a yellow flag so they think he’s a referee

Looks like he’s the “specific individual” now

Being on a screen like this can make you unaware of what’s going around you.

“In the jungle, the might jungle, the lion sleeps tonight; In the jungle the quiet jungle, the lion sleeps tonight” The zebra’s friends are going to find out “their practical joke did end so well….”

It’s much safer to stay on the sidewalk until you can find a zebra crossing.

Eatin’ Good in the "Neigh"borhood.

His only hope is a flash mob.

When they first started studying zebras, they would shoot a paint marker on to one of the zebras to distinguish it from the herd. That zebra seemed to ALWAYS be the next zebra targeted by lions so the researchers realized that was not going to work.

Miss you Zeebs!!!!!!!! :)

I guess the others abandoned him for being an obnoxious geek.
