NURTURED BY STRIPES - ZEBRA AND FOAL IN GRASSLAND

This tender wildlife photograph captures an intimate moment between a zebra mare and her foal in the open grassland. The young foal nurses beneath its mother, sheltered by her steady presence, while warm sunlight accentuates the contrast of their bold stripes against the soft greens of the veld. The calm posture of the mare and the closeness of the foal reflect the quiet strength of maternal bonds in the wild. This image celebrates life, protection, and the gentle rhythms of the African savannah.
