Zebra NAET00006 at Etosha

This young male Plains Zebra has stripes which start off thin on the back legs and get thicker heading to the neck. Its shadow stripes are thin and fairly faint.

It hasn’t got too much in the way of easily identifiable stripe patterns which will present a few challenges when trying to identify photos in the future.

The stripes on the stifle are thin and faint. The shadow stripes join with the main stripes in places which will assist identification. On its neck it has a half-stripe with a stripe just behind it that splits just before it goes out of view under the neck. There is a stripe that runs up from the elbow but terminates just before the back.
