Zebras sparring, Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya - 14 Jun 2024

EARNING THEIR STRIPES! Zebra stallions are seen sparring in an attempt to woo a prospective mate. The pair were observed in Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya. Manoj Shah said, 'During the mating period for zebras the males are on the lookout for females. Hence they are seen fighting for supremacy, the victor getting access to mating with females of his choice.' 'While the fighting is intense, there are usually no major calamities as the loser will run away before things heat up too much. Every male wants to mate and the presence of other males irritates each other so much that every male wants to get rid of others.' 'At first, they chase off the weaker males and when two strong ones remain, they start fighting. The males start by biting each other's hind legs, trying to make the weaker two fall. if this does not happen, the zebras rear up and bite the opponent's ears and neck.'
