At
noon a herd of zebras has approached the waterhole in the need for
drinking. However, the zebras are cautious. The fear of a surprise
attack of a lion or a leopard keeps them in distance from to the pond.
But the thirst they feel does not leave them a choice. After a while a
single zebra will detach from the group, move to the water‘s edge and
start to drink. From that moment, it will take just a few minutes until
the rest of the herd joins the brave one and all zebras stand in the
water, up their bellies or deeper, quenching their thirst.
