ZEBRA ~ GET WORLDLY
Zebra’s as stated by aboutmybrain.com, represent balance, harmony and unity. Their black and white stripes embody the yin and yang, light and darkness and good and evil. Their unique appearance has become a symbol of individuality. However…
Worldly is a human trait. It represents two categories 1. It describes an individual as sophisticated, well-educated and experienced about life and the world. 2. It is of or concerned with the material values or ordinary life rather than a spiritual existence.
Therefore, the analogy of a Zebra becoming Worldly is a contradiction because a Zebra will never experience Worldliness. But it is compelling to muse on the “what if” - a Zebra could Get Worldly.
Zebra’s evolved from equines approx. 4-4.5 million years ago in North America. Equines colonized in Afrcia and Eurasia. I was surprised to learn that the Zebra’s stripes are like human fingerprints - each Zebra has a unique strip pattern and they also have sophisticated communication skills. They have snorting signals to warn their herd and they have facial expressions such as stretching their faces forward to greet another member of their herd. They push their ears back when they feel threatened. Explained by worldanimalprotection.us.
There are 3 Zebra species: The Grévy’s Zebra (named after President Jules Grevy of the Third Republic of France after receiving a Zebra as a gift in 1882 from the King of Abyssinia - now known as Ethiopia) is the largest weighing up to 1,000 lbs. and is the most threatened. The plains Zebra and the mountain Zebra weigh less. Note: The mountain Zebra is considered endangered. They have a population of approx. 9,000.
A Daddy Longlegs: There is an estimated 600 Grévy’s Zebras in captivity.
