I think in this case, it was a display of social dominance.

A plain's Zebra nipping at a companion.

Zebras have complex social structures, and this seemingly aggressive interaction might be a form of social bonding, mutual grooming, or even a display of dominance within the herd.

Stunning views this weekend in Van Wyksdorp #SouthAfrica.

Nestled in the Klein Karoo, this unique area houses three different biomes: Fynbos, Succulent Karoo and Thicket! It is truly a biodiversity hotspot.

Waves licking at the kelp washed ashore for #BlueskyMonday.

The ocean seems washed anew of colour and life every day. Some days are grey, others blue, green, brown...some days are rough - some are gentle. Is it just me that finds this rolling mass of fluid enchanting?
