\"Hartmann's<\/a>

Hartmann’s Mountain Zebra (Equus zebra hartmannae<\/em>) in the Szeged Zoo<\/a>.
I took this picture in January (interestingly the zebras were still outside) from a distance.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

For me all zebras sort of look alike and at first I had a hard time figuring out if the Hartmann’s mountain zebra even looks different from the Gr\u00e9vy\u2019s zebra<\/a> I have posted about recently. But while Gr\u00e9vy\u2019s zebras have dark brown stripes on a white background Hartmann’s mountain zebras have black looking stripes on a light brown background. Also Hartmann’s mountain zebras have a flap of skin on their chin and neck called a dewlap while Gr\u00e9vy\u2019s zebras have a smooth neck. So they are definitely distinguishable even for people like myself who are relatively ignorant about zebra taxonomy.<\/p>\n
