20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Jumpy Zebra

Under the scorching heat, a small group of zebras make their way to the waterhole in Laikipia savannah. Zebras are generally very jumpy around water, any sound or movement scares them and they run towards land. A warthog with her babies run towards the water causing a zebra to snort an alarm call. Within seconds, the waterhole is cleared of all the zebras.
