Natural Science: zebra-tweaked- - zebras, quagga, Equidae, Equus, horse

At Chester Zoo. Possibly Grevy's Zebra (Equus grevyi); see [cogsci.indiana.edu] which says:

Equus grevyi
Grevy.s Zebra can be distinguished from the other species of zebras by its thin stripes which reach up to the hooves, and the characteristic pattern of stripes on its hips which go in three directions, starting at an imaginary point at the highest part of the hind leg. (This pattern can be easily seen in the picture, which was shot at the Chicago zoo, in 1998.)

About This Category

This collection is of free images/photos/pictures, sounds, videos, etc from science, technology and nature, including birds, animals and plants, and some from the fields of chemistry, physics and biology. Some exhibits that could be in here may be found in collections with a more specific remit, such as "Flowers" and "Leaves and Greenery".

This is intended to serve, in part, as a teachers' and students' resource.

See also New Scientist for the latest news, The Register's science and tech stories, the EurekAlert!/AAAS Multimedia Gallery, and BioImages - Virtual Field-Guide (UK) for scholarly info.

Also, for attempts to catalogue all known species, see: the Encyclopedia of Life, and Barcode of Life.
