Eye of the Zebra
I was sleeping in my land rover parked under the shade of an acacia tree. A zebra had slowly approached the car and was busy grazing. I woke up and quickly reached for the camera with the telephoto lens. The startled zebra looked at me on hearing the sound of the clicking shutter. I managed to take a picture before the animal bolted away.

A Mosquito's view
A secretly hidden remote camera captures a herd of Zebras at the river crossing point in Masai Mara, Kenya The camera is un noticed and the zebras start grooming each other. This natural behaviour was made possible by hiding the camera amongst natural rocks. It looks like a view a mosquito would have seen when flying through the herd.

Ouch!
The mating season for Zebras has arrived! Males are getting active and are on the lookout for young females. I saw a male Zebra biting the rump of another male to drive him away. The fight was intense. The winner of this duel gets access for mating with young females. Usually there are no major calamities as the looser runs away.

Crocodile attacking Zebra
Crocodile attacking Zebra in river
The zebra herd has grazed all the edible grass near the river, leaving the soil barren and dusty. The grass on the other side of the river appears to be greener.
So the urge to cross the river is strong and thus the zebras start entering the water. A crocodile is waiting nearby and starts swimming underwateras the crossing starts. There is a great splash and the reptile is seen to clamp one adult zebra by its mouth. Such is the danger in crossings.
The clamped zebra is pulled underwater and drowned. The crocodile is now ready for a feast.AfricaKenyaEast AfricasafarianimalmammalManojShahPhotographyKenyan Photographerwildlifewild animalfree rangingnatureSavannahcolor imagetourist attractionMaasai MaraMasai Mara National ReserveGame parkNational ParkCommon ZebraEquus burchellistripesPlains zebraNile crocodile attackrivers crossing attackcrocodile jaws
