"Thirsty Zebras" started at a painting class that I also used pen and ink on the image as well. I decided to take a photograph of it and finish it digitally on the computer. I have used different paint brushes and pencil points to finish this artwork. I hope you enjoy this artwork, I love horses and as zebras are closely related to horses and donkeys, with their fabulous markings are a favorite as well. They are so well known for their black and white striped body. In fact, zebra stripe patterns are unique to each individual. These stripes are believed to be camouflage devices that help zebras hide well in the grass.
Zebras as very social animals and live in large groups called 'harems.' Plains and mountain zebras live in harems that are made up of one stallion and up to six mares and their young, while Grevy's zebras come together as groups for short periods of time. Sometimes herds come together to form temporary groups of up to 30 members. Zebras sleep standing up, and only when they are in groups that can warn them of danger. If they spot a predator, they will bark or whinny loudly to warn the others in the group.
