Why We Don’t Ride ZEBRAS...

Why Don’t We Ride Zebras? Have you ever wondered why we don’t ride zebras? While we can ride horses, mules and even donkeys. Zebras are just weirder than everybody else. Some of you might say, “But I’ve seen one just being ridden in your intro?” Yes, that’s true. But being trained is different from being domesticated. Zebras have natural immunity to trypanosomiasis, a disease fatal to horses. So, when the Europeans came to colonize Africa they wanted to domesticate them. But there’s just one mistake. They didn’t bother asking the natives why they did not domesticate the animal? For thousands of years zebras have been preyed upon by lions and leopards. And they survived! Although the chances are rare there are reports of zebras killing large male lions. As they say, horses kick out of reflex. While zebras kick with intent to kill. #animalshorts #trending ##viral #fypシ #wildlife #amazinganimals #zebra #horseriding #africanwildlife #tsetsefly #trypanosomiasis #interestingfacts
