What amazing pictures must show them to my 2yr old granddaughter tomorrow. Her favorite film at the moment is Racing Stripes which we have to watch over and over.

Cameldairy, do the dark stripes fade or go brown as the zebras get older? Mum Zulu looks alot browner, is it age, or sunlight or just their natural colouring?
One of my cats goes brown in the summer, and has a black winter coat.
I just wondered!

Looks like he's doing very well, baby Zurprise!

It's age and sunlight. Down here in the south we have very hot sun shiny days for most of the year and the fact that this old girl is over 30 years old.

Bless her, they're lovely. What kind of age do they live to, in captivity? Is she one of the herd elders or a spring chicken?!

How are your pigs getting on? With their long noses...
