A few hours old zebra wants to make friends.
The zebra-mother was gone, probably killed by a predator or injured by a fight. What ever, the foal stood completely alone in the savannah. You can see the fur ist still wet from birth. It approached to the rhinos but obviously they are no good parent subsitute for a zebra.
The rhinos didn’t attack the foal but they neither tolerated it and chased it away. It was heartbreaking!

What a fleeting and sad moment in nature in this powerful image.
