All animal mothers have tight bonds with their offspring but the bond between zebra mares and their foals seems particularly close. A baby zebra is seldom more than a few steps away from its mother’s side. They constantly touch and nuzzle each other and when resting, the foal flops down to sleep almost beneath it’s mother’s hooves. As they get older, the foals start to get a little braver, wandering a short distance away but at the slightest hint of uncertainty they come galloping back, often flicking their heels in the air in an act of bravado once they reach the safety of their mother’s flanks. I took the photograph that provided the reference for this linocut in the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
