Scanned using a Wolverine F2D Mighty scanner.
I would assume that this is a mother with her child.
Editing was done using ACDSee Ultimate 2020. I started by using the SmartErase tool to get rid of a slight bit of the barrier and to get rid of some dust spots. Then I adjusted the lighting, increased the overall saturation and increased it a bit more in the greens and yellows. Next I increased the contrast and the clarity.

Beautiful photo as always Gary.
Thank you very much, Carol.
You are welcome Gary.
It certainly looks that way. They are beautiful
I find zebras very interesting. When we say an animal is beautiful, we usually mean colorful. Zebras manage it with black and white.
Their stripes are truly standing out.
This is one of the nicest looking zebras I’ve ever seen.
I do not love going to the zoo, I think all wild animals should live freely. BTW, nice edition.
A lot of people feel that way but animals in zoos are very well cared for. There is nothing trying to kill them. The other benefit is that people get acquainted with the and care more about them. People are a lot more likely to be concerned over the status of the wild population if they’ve seen one face to face.
When I was a child, I went to Brookfield Zoo. For some dumb reason, I wore a striped shirt. The zebra almost broke through the enclosure.
LOL. (At least now we can LOL. It must have been a bit frightening at the time.
Aren’t they just adorable? I think the babies can walk not long after they are born.
Yes, they can. A lot of animals do that . That’s the only way they can be fed. I watched a video of a baby giraffe standing up for the first time. They’re a bit on the clumsy side.
I was in San Diego a long long time ago and met an Aunt and other relatives and went to Disneyland but never visited to the zoo there.
That’s too bad you missed it. It’s a great zoo.
