It was an amazing experience to be lucky enough to witness
this Zebra mum give birth to this foal.
A first for me, and our guide of 13 years had never witnessed such an event!
The first of a few to post plus a bit of a story involving Wild Dogs and this newborn.(all good)
Moremi GR, Okavango Delta- Botswana.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Wow... that first one is just incredible. The whole series is a lot of fun to view, but for me, that first one tells the whole story. Thanks for sharing!
