An adult zebra stands centered in an open, dry scrubland environment under an overcast sky. The zebra faces slightly right with its head turned towards the viewer, displaying prominent black and white stripes across its body, short mane, and legs. Its left front and rear legs are partially obscured by dense green foliage in the immediate foreground. The ground is characterized by dry, reddish-brown soil with sparse patches of dry grass and scattered dead wood fragments. Low-lying green bushes and shrubs populate the mid-ground, with a few bare, gnarled tree stumps visible in the distance. The terrain behind the zebra slopes gently upwards. The sky is a uniform light grey, indicating full cloud cover and diffused natural lighting. This scene is located within the Sundays River Valley Local Municipality, South Africa.
