Zebra Tales from Blue Goose Bush Retreat! 🦓🌿
At Blue Goose Bush Retreat, zebras are regular visitors, gracing the lodge with their striking black-and-white coats. These iconic animals are more than just a pretty sight – they’re full of surprises! Here are some fascinating zebra facts:
✅ Nature’s Barcode – No two zebras have the same stripe pattern, making each one unique! Their stripes also help them recognize each other.
✅ Built-in Air Conditioning – Their stripes create natural airflow, keeping them cool under the African sun.
✅ Social & Protective – Zebras stick together, forming tight-knit herds. If a predator approaches, they’ll form a protective circle to defend their own!
✅ Speedy Escape Artists – With speeds of up to 65 km/h (40 mph) and zigzagging movements, zebras are experts at dodging danger.
✅ Lawnmowers of the Bush – By munching on tough grass, zebras clear the way for fresh growth, benefiting other grazers like wildebeests.
