Drew this as my fursona a couple of years ago, juuuuust before discovering myself as trans. I've kept an alicorn as my fursona since then, but I've leaned away from this and towards a more femme coloration. Maybe I will return to this design in the future? (2019)

In addition, the bachelor male displays a distinctive facial expression resembling that used by Zebra mares in heat – lowering the head and pulling the lips and mouth corners back to expose the teeth – combined with a high-pitched call.

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Mountain and Plains Zebras have two main social units: breeding groups containing a herd stallion and three to five females with their offspring, and nonbreeding or "bachelor" groups. (...) Little is known of Takhi social organization in the wild, where the species is extinct (although it is beginning to be reintroduced from captive populations).

Animal of the Day!

Quagga (Equus quagga quagga)

(Photo from London Zoo)

Extinction Date- 1883

Habitat- Southern Africa

Size (Weight/Length)- 300 kg; 2.5 m

Diet- Grasses; Leaves

Cool Facts- The quagga was a subspecies of plains zebra that lacked stripes on its back half. Unfortunately, we don’t know a whole lot about quagga behavior. It is believed they gathered in herds of up to 50 individuals and spent their lives constantly on the move as they searched for fresh grass. It is unknown why quagga lacked stripes on their booty, although it could have been for dissuading biting flies from landing on them. Quagga have been found in cave art going back to the Pleistocene and were important to the San people of Southern Africa. Overhunting of quagga by colonists resulted in their population plummeting. The last quagga died in Amsterdam’s Natura Artis Magistra zoo, resulting in the only photographs of a quagga. Plains zebras today are threatened from competition for grass with livestock and habitat loss. Conservationists are making plans for sustainable livestock practices and wildlife corridors for plains zebras with the hope of their population making a full recovery.

Rating- 12/10 (A captive breeding program was attempted but unfortunately failed.)
