Nervously drinking
We came across this scene. A rare one indeed. A group of zebra drinking while being watched but not chased away by 3 bull elephants. They did chase them eventually.
Two of the male zebra got into a disagreement shortly after this and had a full go at each other. I was lucky to be at the right place at the right time and shot a series of photos. The best of the series…
Zebra fighting
Zebra fight 2
Zebra fight – rearing up
It shows the explosive power and agility of these normal docile animals. Each photo looks ominous, yet not one ended in a “hit” as the other animal managed to move or pull away in time.

Stunning photography. I especially liked the last photo.
Thanks, they put up a real show.
Fantastic series with the battling zebra! All the photos are really wonderful, but I especially like the watering hole with the zebra and elephant, a rarity, and also a great size comparison.
We who know..pick that..because it is rare.
Wonderful shots.
Thanks, lucky shot.
Incredible shots! Power indeed!

Thanks, John.
Wow! That was quite a zebranic fight 😀
For sure..Thanks.
We saw so many zebra during the safari last year – never get tired of looking at them and their magnificent stripes!!!
Yes, always interesting.
nice shots !!!
Thanks..did you stop blogging?
no ofcourse not but I had to start a new blog as I can’t acces my other blog, it’s a long story but now my blog is called :gwenniesgardenworld
Okay, got ya again! Thanks.
Amazing shots. The contrast between the elephants and the zebras around the watering hole is a rare find indeed. You couldn’t have asked for a better composition. I love the action shots, especially the third one.
Thanks, yeah…Fun stop.
Amazing photography — even more amazing, the fact that you were there to observe these very special scenes!
Thanks..swiftly the time passes…Fun captured moment.
Incredibly beautiful shots! Have considered submitting to a wild life photo contest? Truly outstanding photography!
Maybe…hehe…Thanks.
Superb pictures.Magnificent battle of rhe 2 zerbra’s
Fantastic to watch…agile, fast.
Great shots of these gorgeous critters!
Thanks,
Beautiful shots! That must have taken a lot of focus to keep taking photos vs just watching this tale.
Watching through the lens…Thanks
these are truly are wonderful……..so very envious right now 🙂 . I have never seen Zebra fight so, I assumed they probably did, but I have never seen it. Great images too!
It is rare to see them go at it, Julz, but round mating time things do get interesting.
I bet
Wow! Fantastic opportunity & fantastic photos! 🙂
Thanks, yes, right place and time.
WOW WOW WOW!!! What great shots! Zebras are my favourite animal – I even have one tattoo’d on my shoulder – and I love watching them whenever I’m able to get out to the bush… but I can honestly say that I have never seen them fight!
This truly is a rare sighting, and you most certainly were in the right place at the right time!
Thanks, guess you’re gonna look at them with new eyes…Hehehe.
Amazing photos. Thanks for sharing.
