The Zebra Wall Project



Hi freaks!!
In order to get you in spirit for tomorrow's post about the
Zebra Wall's first additions,
I have put together some Zebra fun for you to enjoy!!

xx

Did you know that the Zebra had a queer brother called the Quagga?
Photographs are the only proof that this animal ever existed. By 1870s, they were all killed, the last one died at a zoo in Amsterdam,Netherlands, on August 12, 1883.
The stripes on a Quagga were limited to its frontal portion and the rest of the body was similar to a horse with the exception of white feet.





















now back to Zebras...

"The name "zebra" comes from the Old Portuguese word zevra which means "wild ass". Their stripes come in different patterns unique to each individual. They are generally social animals and can be seen in small harems to large herds. In addition to their stripes, zebras have erect, mohawk-like manes. Unlike their closest relatives, horses and asses, zebras have never been truly domesticated."

*Nice!! They are WILD THINGS!! They have what it seems to be a "punk-fuck off" attitude and appearance, where they will seem cute and and poised with gentility, to the point where they seem reachable but NO, we have never been able to domesticate them...
No, but really, who wouldn't like to have a zebra in their backyard and ride that little sucker?? I WOULD! Even tough I never got a chance to ride my Water Buffalo when I had him (YOU'RE MY BOY WIMPI, YOU'RE MY BOY) I still have a fascination for peculiar animals apparently, DON'T JUDGE.
