I don't think enough people noticed the: "You're going to need to fit in before you can show everyone you're different" line. It makes sense, but the irony is very rich.
Fun fact: All living Equines have the phenotype for stripes. Domestic/Feral Horses will sometimes have faint stripes around their legs, Domestic Donkeys have a single stripe running down their midline & can also have stripes on their legs & even Onagers have a single stripe runnning down their back.
Also: All equines are originally from North America, not Africa. They spread through the land bridge in Alaska to Eurasia, eventually making it to Africa.
“You’re one in a million. You know what makes you special? These guys are white with black stripes. You're black with white stripes. You're a dreamer. Always have been. You have great taste in music and horrible taste in friends.” -A very nice lion trying to cheer up a zebra who was feeling like nothing was unique about them
The running gag kinda reminds me that Madagascar 2 did the same joke for Marty when he met other Zebras, everything he did at the Zoo, the wild Zebras already knew about.
I find it really funny that as far as I can tell, all the Zebras *do* have unique stripe patterns. It’s just that the differences are minuscule, maybe just one or two differently placed or thicker stripes. Thanks for all the effort.

The whole video i been thinking about Marty's arc in Madagascar 2, where he struggled with the fact that every other Zebra in his heard are the same like him.
Fun fact: Many animals (like tigers) don't see colors the same way as humans do... A zebras stripes most likely evolved to allow them to blend in based on the predators that hunt them, and how their vision works (not ours). Perception is EVERYTHING.
Zebra's are pretty not mild at all and will go scorched earth with anything that will so breath. They're one of a zookeeper's worst fears, oddly enough
Small(?) detail but I like that some of the zebras have different stripe patterns and aren’t all just copy pasted from one main one. Kinda easy to miss but once you notice it, just makes you appreciate it a lot more
I am a fantasy writer and I wanted you blessing to rip off this series to write about dragons. I really love this format and think it would suit such a fantastical creature.
I like how the stripes are different on each zebra! (Like real zebras.) Seems like a crazy small detail that only a few people will notice, but it just goes to show how much effort you put into your videos, and it's very much appreciated.
0:34 I originally thought that the baby zebra was going to be very small compared to mom But he’s actually at the accurate size of a zebra foal compared to their mother
Randomly started binge watching these videos, it's been super fun and interesting! It'd be awesome if you could go over rey wolves next, or maybe some other canine, like hyenas. I loove canines.
As someone who really loves zebras I enjoyed this video greatly I also really like how this zebra has a whole character arc and having a sweet ending I also really like how if you look really closely, all of the zebras have their own unique stripe pattern while still looking very similar
You all have your very own unique stripe pattern. You never needed to prove anything. You have always been unique 🥺🥺😭♥️♥️ Thank you Kind Stranger Zebra
As a Zebra, your primary job is to run around football fields throwing yellow flags every time someone messes up. You learn how to call Holding, Offsides, DPI, and false start....
I really enjoy these. Keep them coming. I can watch these about any animal. I didn’t think the mayfly video would be that interesting but it one of my favorites ones
If the Zebra guy painted the lower half of his body brown and made the back stripes more conspicuous he would have turned into the only Quagga in existence, which is like, the most unique you can ever be.
Implying through the video that you, as a zebra, feels identical to all other zebras in the herd, is a reference to Madagascar 2 with what Marty experienced, right ?
Kudos on not just copy-pasting each zebra, but actually drawing each one with different stripes
I don't want to sound racist but they all look the same to me.
Are they not all copy pasted?
@@gshorses928look closely to their stripes they're all pretty different one way or another
you can clearly see that some of them are black with white stripes, and the other are white with black stripes
@@gshorses928they are all copy pasted or most of them are
My favorite fun fact about Zebras is that we couldn’t domesticate them because they’re such assholes.
Same. It's bitter sweet because who doesn't want to ride a zebra? But it's hilarious 😂
So Racing Stripes is a lie this whole time?
And because they can't hold our weight very well. But also because they are jerks.

This might be the most complex and lore-heavy way to describe an angry monochrome horse.
Dumb question but what does monochrome mean
@@lisalisa-x9x
Mono- means "single"
-chrome means color/colour
=> monochrome means "single-colored"
@@abeby297 You're freaking right
@@lisalisa-x9xblack, white and grey.
Technically closer to donkeys (I might be wrong).
I’ve watched this video three times and this is the first I’ve noticed that you gave pretty much every zebra a unique stripe pattern

They do, is pretty much like our fingerprints.

Anybody else randomly see a video from this channel on their homepage and now have been incredibly invested in every one of these videos?
Yes😂
Yea
Yes
The purpose of the stripes is to mislead the enemy about your position and trajectory to protect against torpedo fire.
That's actually exactly it.
Dazzling answer after all, isn't it?
9:07 thought my internet was lagging
The attention to detail is amazing, noticed the ghost that tells you about the herd in the mountains is the guy who was eaten..
Petition for an Arctic Fox episode (Like this if you want an arctic fox episode)

"Pronounces 'zebra' if you're British and 'zeebra' if your WRONG"
That sounded personal
Yeah sucks that he accidentally switched the pronunciation when recording
The giraffes looking down "You guys live like this?"
There is no force on this earth that can stop me from pronouncing it "Zee-bruh" and the more you do to dissuade me will only strengthen my resolve
This entire time I've been unconsciously hearing it that way omg

Yesss please do the honey badger, could be the first in the entire internet to portray them realistically instead of as hyperboles of invincibility
The German Shepherd could not look less inconspicuous in that pack.
He’s undercover with the African Wild Dogs lol

Hoping for a otter episode .
They have many adorable and
horrifying behaviours which could make a entertaining episode!

There is subtle differences between each zebra's stripe patterns un the video
The Zebra on the Horse was a great visual gag. Had a laugh, thank you.
I like how the stripes are different on each zebra! (Like real zebras.) Seems like a crazy small detail that only a few people will notice, but it just goes to show how much effort you put into your videos, and it's very much appreciated.
It's like the Madagascar 2 movie where Marty finds out everyone is the same
These videos are awesome, its like comedic National Geographic
That's just causal geographic or hood geographic,which is comedic national geographic
How has no one pointed out that the joke about zebras not being unique is from the Madagascar movie
When my boy pulled a revenge of the sith on the young zebra I lost it. 😂😂
The whole video had me rolling on the bed laughing.
These are so informative while also being so very entertaining. A really quite pleasing blend of production value.
3:03 thats jerry, hes just a German exchange student, hes trying his best
“Zebra is you’re British and zeebra is you’re wrong”🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like how you gave every zebra unique stripe patterns in the animation :)
My six year old grandson introduced me to this channel so I’m hooked
0:49 i like that you gave them unique stripes

This is one of the funniest channels I've ever heared of.
This is what Marty's life would have looked like if he grew up in the wild instead of zoo .

Thank you Kind Stranger Zebra
i didnt know there were 3 different types of zebras, thanks man
Peak series, incredible work
literally why is 75% of the comment section just arguing over the pronounciation of zebra
As a Zebra, your primary job is to run around football fields throwing yellow flags every time someone messes up. You learn how to call Holding, Offsides, DPI, and false start....
The detail of all the zebra having slight variations in their stripe patterns was so satisfying thank you for that, appreciate the effort there!! ❤
i mess with these so extremely heavily
Zebra if you’re British or Zeebra if you’re wrong. Perfect!
Surprisingly poetic ending for an animation style you’d otherwise expect little of that sort from. Very entertaining ❤
A lot of his videos are like that, an art to be appreciated for sure
The homies always coming in clutch at the end.
5:03, a zebra riding a horse… that’s James for you!
Wonder if the water spirit was talking about becoming a horse or something.
Hyenas next, please! They are Hella weird.
Pseudo- 🍆 episode
do wolves next
The ending was so sweet
8:36 - You are attacked by a wild MGM logo!
imagine being a zebra and having the zebra version of face blindness
'Or zeebra if your wrong' That gosuch a big laugh out of me 🤣
I really enjoy these. Keep them coming. I can watch these about any animal. I didn’t think the mayfly video would be that interesting but it one of my favorites ones
It would be a short video.
If im wrong i dont wanna be right.
Found ur channel from the shark video btw, love ur stuff
Bro, exactly! And exactly half an hour ago!
may be the greatest video about zebras to ever grace youtube
Or mayhaps..........
Graze youtube!

“Master Skywalker, there are too many of them, what are we going to do!”
Who knew that zerbras were so chill.
If the Zebra guy painted the lower half of his body brown and made the back stripes more conspicuous he would have turned into the only Quagga in existence, which is like, the most unique you can ever be.
Like if you want a Platypus episode!

Oh yes the younglings
3:02 a german imposter
I was going to say the same thing. But I’ll just add my “tic” to yours.
Where?
I think their stripes are there as a way to confuse predators because it's clearly confusing us.
Please do an episode on Emperor Penguins
Zebra if you’re normal.
Zeburh if you’re a tea drinking, insert negative British stereotype here
If Zebrurh, your country leader has been alive for over a century
