This Grevys Zebra must have had a good fight and lost its tail. The Grevys zebra has suffered one of the most devastating reductions in range of any African mammal. Historically found in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya, Grevy’s zebras are now restricted to northern Kenya and just about a hundred in Ethiopia. While less than 30 years ago there were 15,000 of these mesmerizing creatures roaming the wilds of Kenya, today around 2,600 remain, almost the total world population. The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy home to approximately 378 #Grevy’s zebras, making it an important foundation for the re-emergence of this extremely endangered species. Lewa’s vision is to use this population as a source for re-stocking the former range, particularly conservation-friendly areas under community management. Great shot by Edwin Kisio.
