The little that I know about zebras is that they can't be tamed enough to ride; and that their striped patterns are unique, so the foals recognize their dam (mother) by the pattern--which is why she keeps the foal by her side totally the first few hours that it is born, for pattern imprinting. At least this is what I have read/heard. At any rate, saving all of these--my fave is the first one. :)
