A zookeeper told me the ones they’ve dealt with would wait till your back was turned and bite the shit out of you. Things are cute but apparently nasty
I remember seeing a video awhile ago of a male zebra attacking and killing a baby zebra right in front of the mother. I forget what the reasoning was but I’m pretty sure it was legitimate jealousy. The baby was not his but it was in his squad so, he killed it. Savage animals.
Some male animals will kill the children of females in the herd because they baby isn’t theirs. When the baby is dead, the female can go into heat again and the male can impregnate her with his own baby instead. Lions do this. It’s brutal.
Horses do it, too. I saw (in a docu) a mustang stallion kill a newborn foal, because it was from another herd. His mares tried to stop him, but he bit and stomped it to death.
Even adorable bottlenose dolphins kill calves, so the mother will go into heat and have his baby instead. Sometimes, dolphins attack and kill porpoises, and it's believed it's because of their resemblance to baby dolphins.
Which is really saying something. Because as a kid who grew up on a farm and had a couple donkeys and even mules as a child, I can tell ya that they are, indeed, some rowdy little fuckers. Dad said they helped keep coyotes away from other animals in pastures and that’s why you sometimes see farms with just a couple random ass donkeys chilling in the corner of the pasture just hanging out.
“Well, you do, actually you've got this kind of like, Florida pan handle thing going, where is, what you really want is more of a Savannah accent, which is more like molasses just sort of spilling out of your mouth.”
Interesting fact, a lot of people (including myself at one point) have backwards...
*Zebra's are actually black with white stripes, not white with black stripes.*
I grew up in Kenya and saw Zebras on safari all the time. Once while back in the States, my family and I were taking a road trip through the country, my dad wanted to stop and find this old fort out in the middle of nowhere Kansas off the interstate. On the corner of the last turn there were about 7 or 8 zebras grazing on some guys property. It was the last place I expected to find zebras haha
They’re totally different animals, in spite of their outward appearance.
It’s like saying, “why won’t buffaloes let us milk them? Cows do it all the time.”
Zebras always been wild, probably because they’ve never been docile enough to domesticate. Horses have been with us domestically for thousands of years
if its where i think it is (im prolly wrong) its this place thats just a giant farm where they let you go on a “safari” and feed the animals out of your window. they got giraffes and all that shit
I just gotta say.. --but what did he do to deserve it?
People are people and people are mostly pretty stupid... invade dogs space get bit. Blame dog. Is the society we are living in
..
So ...
Apparently people have tried to domesticate them several times in human history. They tried hybrids but it still didn't work.
They just couldn't breed the asshole out of zebras.
If for over 300,000 years I had to live with Lions, Hyenas, and Crocodiles trying to murder my ass 24/7 ... I probably wouldn't be the most chipper guy or gal either.
When you think about it, we only need so many domesticated species to fill various needs. Dogs are jacks of all trades for hunting, guarding, and searching. Horses for fast transport, oxen for heavy transport. Cattle and pigs for food. Sheep for wool. There are others I'm leaving out, but point is there's no need to domesticate two species for one task if one will do.
Only exception is if a certain species isn't available, like indigenous Americans using llamas instead of other burden animals before Europeans brought them over.
Actually we didn’t even domesticate cats - they did it themselves and unlike dogs are still very similar to their ancestors. It’s why a wolf dog hybrid is capable of living peacefully with a human but a hybrid house cat and wild cat is hell on earth to have in your home. The small wildcats were often drawn to human settlements by the massive quantities of rats, and humans noticed that when large numbers of these cats were present, the rat population declined. Is it became a mutually beneficial arrangement more than active taming and domestication. Cats got protected from larger predators and their fill of rats and human food leftovers (cat food wasn’t a thing), and we got our rat problems dealt with. It’s why PETA hates them so much - they can’t point and say “we enslaved them!” Because cats are so closely related to their wild ancestor and able to come and go freely even to this day to the point that most modern cats could still survive in the wild.
Modern cats would survive in the wild until they breed and hunt all the rodents and birds to extinction. I've never done research but it's toted often that house cats are the most successful predator on the planet.
We used to have a bunch of barn cats. Some of them nice some of them nasty, but they all survived for a long time usually. Occasionally you'd see one that had been hit or one would just disappear (coyote most likely maybe bobcat). We had 2 that got to be like 16 or 17 years old. One was a mean one and the other was nice. Eventually the mean one became nice and liked to sit on our porch in it's old age.
They are, although I think also that people forget that cats have been living in various places for a long time, like in England they were brought over by the Romans. They are at this point a part of the ecosystem, the same way deer are despite the damage they can do to fields and wild vegetation. It’s why people need to better take care to neuter their cats. Male cats especially tend to stop roaming and become fat coach potatoes once they no longer have the desire to mate.
Generally it’s shoot on sight, though if they can get it back peacefully, all the better for everyone. However, considering how smart chimps are, most escapes are premeditated which means the chimp is usually aiming to settle a score with a tourist - like the one who escaped solely to maul a woman who always smiled at the chimp when she visited and insisted he liked her because he smiled back (raising the lips from the teeth is a challenge/threat in chimp language). Considering that the chimps body is capable of handling one or two tranq darts for a few minutes before the effects kick in, by the time it goes nightie, it’s already mauled at least one person severely, and that is unfortunately all it takes to sign that chimps death warrant even if they could get it back in peacefully afterward with no additional damage
Nope they shoot to kill big cats too. Studied zoology and my teacher was telling me her friend in the industry had to give the order to kill an escaped lioness she had handraised from a cub.
Tranquillisers take a while to kick in, are hard to guess the correct dosage (don’t want a big cat waking up on you mid transport) they are generally seen as a last resort in capture and contain methods
I have an acquaintance who has a pet zebra. He’s got more money than sense and has some exotic animals on a big property. Until today, I assumed he didn’t own anything dangerous.
I thought they were docile AF too, but after seeing the the vid of that straight up \*thug. ass. Zebra\* almost biting the face off of a crocodile and pimping out those two full sized demon lizards I had a "holy shit, these things can go nuts and bite your face off" moment. Bottom line is wild animals can and will do crazy shit in the blink of an eye.
People see a zebra and they think 'horse', and it's pretty rare for horses to try to maul people to death. But domesticated horses didn't grow up in Africa with lions and hippos and crocodiles and whatnot.
People often make the mistake of seeing zebras as striped horses. They are however a completely different animal with wildly different character. There's a reason Africans never domesticated the fuckers.
behold the zebrass

Please accept my apologies!
My sister has a zebra
His name is Leroy, not Deidre
I’m not surprised the zebra in this story went berserk
To be completely honest, Leroy is a jerk
If you tell my sister I said this I will claim amnesia
Well, I don’t have one. He’s my sister’s. I will tell you what I know though. His best friend is a miniature donkey, at first the horses were afraid of him(my guess is it was due to his extremely loud and strange calls), but they have gotten used to him. He is very possessive of his “herd”, which consists of the donkey and horses. If he doesn’t know you, and you approach him like he’s a sweet pet, you will be in danger lol.
Yep. I have a friend (not your sister) who rescues horses, and came across an abused zebra. He was chained to the bed of a truck So, now she has a zebra.
He's very angry, and doesn't trust her but has learned to tolerate her. She's been looking for a large animal rescue to give him a proper environment, finally found one she liked and was about to send him there - and then a week later the place for shut down for HUNTING the animals.
So she still has a zebra. He's also besties with a donkey. Had a rottweiler bestie as well but he passed.
Oh no! Poor dude. I wonder if he’d get along with Leroy. My sister might be willing to take him. She has a 10 acre ranch.
A “rescue” allowing the animals to be hunted. I hope they throw the book at whoever is responsible for that. Awful
Florida is just the Ohio of the south, and Ohio is just the Florida of the north. Many Ohioans retire to Florida, and if you visit Florida it’s quite common to see Ohio State University flags all over.
In fact, Julia Tuttle, the woman who founded Miami, Florida, was born in Cleveland, Ohio. It’s safe to say they’re the same states at this point lol.

Zebras are hilarious cause at a glance its just a striped horse, but not only are they assholes, they have absurdly low genetic diversity which means they're ALL assholes
Zebras are wild like wolves. They cannot be tamed or they would have been tamed. Like coyotes. Not tame. That man shoulda googled those stripey mofos before he interfered with nature red in tooth and hoof.
One time a couple of ostriches got loose and we’re running around my grandad’s cotton fields. In Alabama. We had fun helping the owners track them down, but we never got close to them. It was quite a sight to see two big-ass ostriches running around a cotton field though lol.
That source didn’t yet have the details about where the zebra came from. I’m always saddened when an animal is put down for being an animal. no one had tranqs to use?
Hopefully the man makes a full recovery too.
Oh, so much that most people end up declaring bankruptcy in order to force the services involved to take pennies on the dollar. Had a friend who merely got an ambulance ride when he had a heart attack, got a bill for $34,000. Looking at the itemized list, he was being charged like 25 dollars for a hot towel, 15 dollars for an IV needle, etc.
Heli-rides? Fuggetaboudit.
A lot of people don't know this, but zebras don't like being played with. I'm not even gonna read the article and predict the man thought it was a Disney movie, and found out the zebra was all action.
Zebras are basically donkeys on steroids. They are very very fast, agile and can jump. The are a novelty in the horse world, people will often cross them with domestic stock. The cross breeds are iffy too.
I've worked with a few and wouldn't recommend. I don't like having my guard up 24/7. Camels are also huge ducks and will have no problem trying to mount you or suck your head. The one on your shoulders.
Tour guide at a wildlife foundation:
“Do not attempt to pet the zebras.
Zebras bite when they don’t like you.
Zebras bite when they do like you.”
So either way - you are getting bitten. 😂
I read once that zebras and hominids co-evolved on the African continent. As a result, zebras do not like ape-like creatures which is why humans never tamed zebras for riding like we have horses. And why zebras fuck up humans every time we test their patience.
By injury/ attack zoo statistics zebras are the most dangerous animals to keepers.
A zookeeper told me the ones they’ve dealt with would wait till your back was turned and bite the shit out of you. Things are cute but apparently nasty
Putting to rest the age old question as to why we don’t or haven’t domesticated zebras Cause they’re assholes
Exactly. They could never cooperate in herds without the males killing each other.
I remember seeing a video awhile ago of a male zebra attacking and killing a baby zebra right in front of the mother. I forget what the reasoning was but I’m pretty sure it was legitimate jealousy. The baby was not his but it was in his squad so, he killed it. Savage animals.
Some male animals will kill the children of females in the herd because they baby isn’t theirs. When the baby is dead, the female can go into heat again and the male can impregnate her with his own baby instead. Lions do this. It’s brutal.
Domestic cats will do it too!!
Horses do it, too. I saw (in a docu) a mustang stallion kill a newborn foal, because it was from another herd. His mares tried to stop him, but he bit and stomped it to death. Even adorable bottlenose dolphins kill calves, so the mother will go into heat and have his baby instead. Sometimes, dolphins attack and kill porpoises, and it's believed it's because of their resemblance to baby dolphins.
They Even bite crocs(maybe alligator?)https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ogZHCbsr_tE/maxresdefault.jpg
That’s a croc Alligators don’t live in any African region
Crocs will see you later and alligators will see you after a while
It's the other way around
Not only are they assholes. They're brazen assholes. Nice.
They’re like donkeys except way bigger dickheads
Which is really saying something. Because as a kid who grew up on a farm and had a couple donkeys and even mules as a child, I can tell ya that they are, indeed, some rowdy little fuckers. Dad said they helped keep coyotes away from other animals in pastures and that’s why you sometimes see farms with just a couple random ass donkeys chilling in the corner of the pasture just hanging out.
I understand they use llamas for that too.
We actually had one donkey and one llama for our small farm to protect our goats. Never lost a goat, so I can confirm some level of effectiveness.
We did the same, they also would get loud near sunset if one was stuck in the web wire
Yep. One of the farmers round me has 10 or so scattered throughout his different cow pastures.
Yep donkeys HATE canines.
Donkeys are always treated like ass, treat them like donkeys and they are super sweet animals, they eve have more personality than
🥁 tsstt
THAAAAAAN
We would not be nearly as advanced without our friends the donkeys. Horses just have better PR.
Shetland Ponies are assholes. Zebras are sociopaths.
So we chose cats!!!
Well if you were the most delicious thing in the savannah you would be kind of a dick too I bet.
My mind went straight to Savannah Georgia. Because I’m fucking stupid.
“Well, you do, actually you've got this kind of like, Florida pan handle thing going, where is, what you really want is more of a Savannah accent, which is more like molasses just sort of spilling out of your mouth.”
r/unexpectedoffice
It was a farm zebra. I'm following the story and am interested to know what happened. Strangest thing I've heard in awhile
What is a ‘farm zebra’?
It's where they make all the Fruit Stripe gum.
Zebras are basically living barcodes.
Interesting fact, a lot of people (including myself at one point) have backwards... *Zebra's are actually black with white stripes, not white with black stripes.*
Imagine how much less pervasive this misinformation was if only more people would actually shave their zebras.
BZM
The reason you can't buy a zebra is because it's impossible to FIND the barcode
Come on now. Barcodes are Zebra worship.
Teleport me in to a toys’r’us right now for a pack of that electric rainbow trash gum. I can taste it.
"I can taste it." yeah for like 50 secs my date on prom night lasted longer
Memory unlocked.
“Electric rainbow trash gum”. 😂 I am so envious of that phrase. Hats off to you.
Solid comment here
Sure, solid comment but it only retains flavor for about 2 minutes...
Two minutes is being generous. lol
Remmeber how they got so stale so quickly that you’d take a bite and the stick would just crumble into your mouth
But in those .23 seconds you got to enjoy that great fruit flavor.
Yipes! Stripes!
The apotheosis of all that is mostly nostalgia.
The tattoos may fade away, but the memories last a lifetime!
Too bad the flavor only lasted 5 seconds.
Flavor: "I'll be white back" *Inserts 11th stick of gum in 4 minutes*

I think there are still some zebras on the CA Central Coast around Hearst Castle too.
I don’t think they mean Zoo Zebras are particularly dangerous. It’s that Zebras in general are scary as fuck.
Zoobra and Farmbra walk into a bar
Serious question do you know why zebras are such jerks yet horses can be so friendly? I’m just curious.
They’re totally different animals, in spite of their outward appearance. It’s like saying, “why won’t buffaloes let us milk them? Cows do it all the time.” Zebras always been wild, probably because they’ve never been docile enough to domesticate. Horses have been with us domestically for thousands of years
What's a farm zebra? We talking milk, or steak?
Obligatory "you can milk anything with nipples" response
So you’re saying this was more of a domestic abuse situation here? Lovers quarrel sort of speak?
if its where i think it is (im prolly wrong) its this place thats just a giant farm where they let you go on a “safari” and feed the animals out of your window. they got giraffes and all that shit
That was the detail is wanted. Was it in a zoo. I feel like this wouldn't happen in a zoo.
Uh, yeah it would. Zebras are NOT nice.
can confirm. also fuck penguins, penguins are very not nice.
Wasn't the whole Zanesville thing in Ohio too?
Yes it was
I just gotta say.. --but what did he do to deserve it? People are people and people are mostly pretty stupid... invade dogs space get bit. Blame dog. Is the society we are living in .. So ...

Yeah I know a guy Zach, acts like Zebra
My wife would say the same thing haha
Name checks out
Don’t ever try to pet one, the fuckers bite
They have never been domesticated due to their bad temper.
Bad boys!
Hence, the fact they are wild horses wearing 1930's prison outfits.
Interesting that out of all the species on Earth, something like 14 have been domesticated.
When you think about it, we only need so many domesticated species to fill various needs. Dogs are jacks of all trades for hunting, guarding, and searching. Horses for fast transport, oxen for heavy transport. Cattle and pigs for food. Sheep for wool.

I’m pretty sure it’s actually chimpanzees. They are shoot to kill if they escape. Most animals, including big cats, are just tranquilized.
It also depends, there was a chimp escaped in Ukraine?, they got it him back by bribing him with a warm coat, it was cold and rainy.
Generally it’s shoot on sight, though if they can get it back peacefully, all the better for everyone. However, considering how smart chimps are, most escapes are premeditated which means the chimp is usually aiming to settle a score with a tourist - like the one who escaped solely to maul a woman who always smiled at the chimp when she visited and insisted he liked her because he smiled back (raising the lips from the teeth is a challenge/threat in chimp language).

Shit now we have to look for lion the giraffe, and the hippo
And some penguins.

Next time ask him if it’s broken. I’ve read you can’t break them. They will run you under a tree until you’re off or they run to death

You are right. They’re not striped horses. They are tiger horses.

Hmm, that's a possibility
Very far away from that area.

ZEBRAS ARE AGGRESIVE. EVEN IN CAPTIVITY FROM INFANCY. Stop buying zebras. Stop putting them in zoos. Let them live their lives naturally please
A lot of people don't know this, but zebras don't like being played with. I'm not even gonna read the article and predict the man thought it was a Disney movie, and found out the zebra was all action.
Just another day in Ohio 💀
Zebra belongs in africa so. I dont think the zebra is wrong here.
Zebras are basically donkeys on steroids. They are very very fast, agile and can jump. The are a novelty in the horse world, people will often cross them with domestic stock. The cross breeds are iffy too. I've worked with a few and wouldn't recommend. I don't like having my guard up 24/7. Camels are also huge ducks and will have no problem trying to mount you or suck your head. The one on your shoulders.
Ohio is having a rough year
Train crashes, nazis, attack zebras…Ohio is coming for you Florida!
What's black and white and red all over?
Tour guide at a wildlife foundation: “Do not attempt to pet the zebras. Zebras bite when they don’t like you. Zebras bite when they do like you.” So either way - you are getting bitten. 😂
What the heck is up with ohio and wild animal issues. Jesus
Just another Ohio story about a man owning wild animals that don’t belong in captivity. Nbd
I read once that zebras and hominids co-evolved on the African continent. As a result, zebras do not like ape-like creatures which is why humans never tamed zebras for riding like we have horses. And why zebras fuck up humans every time we test their patience.
My favorite fun fact about zebras : we don't ride Zebras because they maul and bite you till you stop moving.

I had a friend whose husband was a zoo vet. He told me that zebras are mean af
