I know what you’re thinking: This chick is a liar. She always says there aren’t stereotypical “African animals” in Senegal, and now she’s showing us a picture of zebras.
While you’re certainly correct this is a picture of zebras (that part was easy), and it is indeed in Senegal, this was taken at Bandia, the nature reserve about an hour and a half outside Dakar. Animals like this? They ship ‘em in.
I think the meaning of life is hidden in this question: Are they black with white stripes or white with black stripes?
