Wildlife / Animals nominee

Visiting the sparsely populated Kalahari desert I found in the distance with my drone this group of Hartman Zebras climbing on a hill. The Hartman Zebra is very rare and classified as vulnerable to extinction. Their stripes created a strong contrast to the surrounding vegetation.
