Default Zebra headshots

We went to Glenrose TX over the weekend to Dinosaur World and the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center. These are a few of the shots I got from the wildlife center. Most of the animals would come right up to the truck to get some food. This zebra was on his way over when I took these head shots. I was able to get two of them before he got too close.

Wow Mat, I think I see stripes, LOL. Great shots, very good focus, I bet they were great to see close up.
Theres supposed to be a zebra on a ranch near here, but I never see it when I drive out, so thank you for bringing a zebra to me !!

The stripes produced nice patterns of lines accentuated better by the close up shot. This is a nice one, Mat.
