Spotted: A polka-dotted zebra!
Masai Mara, Kenya
If you thought that zebras are only black and white, think again.
A zebra foal with a dark coat and white polka dots has been spotted in Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve.
Photographer Frank Liu was on the search for rhinos recently when he noticed the eye-catching plains zebra, likely about a week old. “At first glance he looked like a different species altogether,” Liu says. Antony Tira, a Maasai guide who first spotted the foal, named him Tira.
Zebra stripes are as unique as fingerprints, but Tira’s odd coloration could be the first recorded observation in the Masai Mara. Similar foals have been seen in Botswana’s Okavango Delta.

Tira and these other foals have a condition called pseudomelanism, a rare genetic mutation in which animals display some sort of abnormality in their stripe pattern.
Zebras also experience other unusual color variations, such as partial albinism, which was seen in an extremely rare "blond" zebra photographed earlier this year in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park.
Fun fact
Zebras are not black and white. They are actually black with white stripes and each zebra has a different pattern of stripes on them.
