When threatened by lions, flee, and when caught they are rarely effective in fighting off the big cats. A lion has to surprise a within the first six seconds of breaking cover. Zebra species have two basic social structures. Plains and mountain zebras live in stable, closed family groups or harems consisting of one stallion , several mares , and their offspring. These groups have their own home ranges , which overlap, and they tend to be nomadic. Stallions form and expand their harems by recruiting young mares from their natal birth harems. The stability of the group remains even when the family stallion dies or is displaced. Plains zebra groups also live in a fission—fusion society. They gather into large herds and may create temporarily stable subgroups within a herd, allowing individuals to interact with those outside their group. Among harem-holding species, this behaviour has otherwise only been observed in primates such as the gelada and the hamadryas baboon. Females of these species benefit as males give them more time for feeding, protection for their young, and protection from predators and harassment by outside males. Among females in a harem, a linear dominance hierarchy exists based on the time at which they join the group. Harems travel in a consistent filing order with the high-ranking mares and their offspring leading the groups followed by the next-highest ranking mare and her offspring, and so on. The family stallion takes up the rear. Young of both sexes leave their natal groups as they mature; females are usually herded by outside males to be included as permanent members of their harems. This species lives in habitats with sparser resources and standing water and grazing areas may be separated. Groups of lactating females are able to remain in groups with nonlactating ones and usually gather at foraging areas. The most dominant males establish territories near watering holes, where more sexually receptive females gather. Subdominants have territories farther away, near foraging areas. Mares may wander through several territories but remain in one when they have young. Staying in a territory offers a female protection from harassment by outside males, as well as access to a renewable resource. In all species, excess males gather in bachelor groups. These are typically young males that are not yet ready to establish a harem or territory. Fights between males usually occur over mates and involve biting and kicking. In plains zebra, stallions fight each other over recently matured mares to bring into their group and her family stallion will fight off other males trying to abduct her. As long as a harem stallion is healthy, he is not usually challenged. Only unhealthy stallions have their harems taken over, and even then, the new stallion gradually takes over, pushing the old one out without a fight. When meeting for the first time, or after they have separated, individuals may greet each other by rubbing and sniffing their noses followed by rubbing their cheeks, moving their noses along their bodies and sniffing each other's genitals. They then may rub and press their shoulders against each other and rest their heads on one another. This greeting is usually performed among harem or territorial males or among bachelor males playing. Members of a harem nip and scrape along the neck, withers, and back with their teeth and lips. Grooming usually occurs between mothers and foals and between stallions and mares. Grooming shows social status and eases aggressive behaviour. Zebras produce a number of vocalisations and noises. The plains zebra has a distinctive, high-pitched contact call commonly called "barking" heard as "a- ha , a- ha , a- ha " or "kwa-ha, kaw-ha, ha, ha". Loud snorting in zebras is associated with alarm. Squealing is usually made when in pain, but bachelors also squeal while play fighting. Zebras also communicate with visual displays, and the flexibility of their lips allows them to make complex facial expressions. Visual displays also incorporate the positions of the head, ears, and tail. A zebra may signal an intention to kick by laying back its ears and sometimes lashing the tail. Flattened ears, bared teeth, and abrupt movement of the heads may be used as threatening gestures, particularly among stallions. In addition, females in oestrous will stand with their hind legs spread and raise their tails when in the presence of a male. Males assess the female's reproductive state with a curled lip and bared teeth flehmen response and the female will solicit mating by backing in. The length of gestation varies by species; it is roughly 11—13 months, and most mares come into oestrus again within a few days after foaling, depending on conditions. Usually, a single foal is born, which is capable of running within an hour of birth. In plains and mountain zebras, foals are cared for mostly by their mothers, but if threatened by pack-hunting hyenas and dogs, the entire group works together to protect all the young. The group forms a protective front with the foals in the centre, and the stallion will rush at predators that come too close. With their distinctive black-and-white stripes, zebras are among the most recognisable . They have been associated with beauty and grace, with naturalist Thomas Pennant describing them in as "the most elegant of quadrupeds". Zebras have been popular in photography, with some wildlife photographers describing them as the most photogenic . Zebras have become staples in children's stories and wildlife-themed art, such as depictions of Noah's Ark. They are known for being among the last to be featured in the dictionary and in children's alphabet books where they are often used to represent the letter 'Z'. Zebras have been featured in African art and culture for millennia. They are depicted in rock art in Southern Africa dating from 28,—20, years ago, though not as commonly as antelope species like eland. How the zebra got its stripes has been the subject of folk tales , some of which involve it being scorched by fire. The Maasai proverb "a man without culture is like a zebra without stripes" has become popular in Africa and beyond. The San people associated zebra stripes with water, rain and lighting because of its dazzling pattern, and water spirits were conceived of having zebra stripes. For the Shona people , the zebra is a totem animal and is praised in a poem as an "iridescent and glittering creature". Its stripes have symbolised the joining of male and female and at the ruined city of Great Zimbabwe , zebra stripes decorate what is believed to be a domba , a premarital school meant to initiate girls into adulthood. The plains zebra is the national animal of Botswana and zebras have been depicted on stamps during colonial and post-colonial Africa. For people of the African diaspora , the zebra represented the politics of race and identity, being both black and white. In cultures outside of its range, the zebra has been thought of as a more exotic alternative to the ; the comic book character Sheena, Queen of the Jungle , is depicted riding a zebra and explorer Osa Johnson was photographed riding one. Zebras have been popular subjects for paintings, particularly for abstract , modernist and surrealist artists. Victor Vasarely depicted zebras as mere bands of black and white and joined together in a jigsaw puzzle fashion. Carel Weight 's Escape of the Zebra from the Zoo during an Air Raid was based on a real life incident of a zebra escaping during the bombing of London Zoo and consists of four panels like a comic book. Zebras have been kept in captivity since at least the Roman Empire. In , Sultan Baibars of Egypt established an embassy with Alfonso X of Castile and sent a zebra and other exotic animals as gifts. In , a zebra was sent to the Yongle Emperor of China from Somalia as a gift for the Chinese people. The fourth Mughal emperor Jahangir received a zebra via Ethiopia in and commissioned a painting of the animal, which was completed by Ustad Mansur. These animals would eventually be given by the Dutch to the Tokugawa Shogunate of Japan. When Queen Charlotte received a zebra as a wedding gift in , the animal became a source of fascination for the people of Britain. Many flocked to see it at its paddock at Buckingham Palace. It soon became the subject of humour and satire, being referred to as "The Queen's Ass", and was the subject of an oil painting by George Stubbs in The zebra also gained a reputation for being ill-tempered and kicked at visitors. Attempts to domesticate zebras were largely unsuccessful. It is possible that having evolved under pressure from the many large predators of Africa, including early humans, they became more aggressive, thus making domestication more difficult. In Rome, zebras are recorded to have pulled chariots during gladiator games starting in the reign of Caracalla to AD. However, he did not ride on them as he realised that they were too small and aggressive. Mountain zebras number near 35, individuals and their population appears to be increasing. Plains zebra are estimated to number ,—, with a decreasing population trend. Human intervention has fragmented zebra ranges and populations. Zebras are threatened by hunting for their hide and meat, and habitat change from farming. They also compete with livestock for food and water and fencing blocks their migration routes. The quagga population was hunted by early Dutch settlers and later by Afrikaners to provide meat or for their skins. The skins were traded or used locally. The quagga was probably vulnerable to extinction due to its limited distribution, and it may have competed with domestic livestock for forage. The last known wild quagga died in Conservation efforts by the South African National Parks have since allowed the populations to grow to over 2, by the s. Zebras can be found in numerous protected areas. The Quagga Project An organisation that selectively breeds zebras to recreate the hair coat pattern of the quagga.

The photographer achieves this impression primarily through long exposure times, making the still objects such as jetties, bridges, and pickets stand out among the constantly moving environment. The traces of civilization contrast with nature, which seems constantly to shift between aggregate states. During the time of exposure we witness the overlap of the spatial and temporal expansion of bodies and natural phenomena. Levin is able to create an indivisible bond between space and time in his unique compositions. Sea birds Seven Birds, become abstract forms on the horizon in his illustration of a very particular temporality and seem to take on lives of their own. You cannot tire of looking at these fantastic-seeming worlds that give the impression of being suspended in elevated space, in which the laws of nature do not seem to apply.
