Description
A magical moment in the Ngorongoro Crater when something seemed to be happening in every direction, it was such a buzz.Zebras are generally slower than horses, but their great stamina helps them outpace predators.

Looks like a clip out of some discovery channel show. As a vid its A#1 as a pic its a little less that artistic, to me anyways. Its more of a capturing the moment than an expression of art by the photographer.
I like it, its a good pic.

Now the ultimate question. Are they white with black stripes or black with white stripes?

Our tour operator insisted they were white with black stripes since the males have one stripes hanging off them...

Same here, I would love to use this image as a wallpaper - I think it's brilliant the way the flamingoes look like they're watching the zebras race, like Ladies' Day at Ascot.
