My most liked non-reel post on instagram !
Little comparison post between a zebra kelpie and a regular zebra -

Based on comments I receive, I think many people don't realize how different the zebra kelpies are from real life zebras, so I decided to make this *featuring our big guy Lewis* to bring up some explanations !

Zebra kelpies are their own species ; they share the genus Equus with horses and so on, but *they didn't* evolve from zebras. They adapted to become predators, and the stripes help them to blend in their natural environments (red kelp forests) to sneak on a prey or hide themselves. The zebra kelpies are sharing a lot of similarities with felines, and more precisely tigers !

The name of the species is obviously coming from their stripes and because they're equines as well.

Lewis depicted here is an average freshwater zebra kelpie, but saltwaters are even bigger.

So zebras and zebra kelpies are more like cousin species and should not be mistaken with eachother... know the difference, it could save your life !

Hope you liked this little post, I'm really busy with commissions atm and I'm struggling to produce new content for my personal account while working on the webcomic-
