My contribution for this week’s
Word of the Week Challenge…
Recline
~~~~~
Once again I have added Google’s definition of ‘recline’…
maybe because my recliners may be stretching it…just a tad.
Google Definition of ‘recline‘ is to
‘lean or lie back in a relaxed position with the back supported.’
perhaps sitting more than reclining…but a cute photo, courtesy MGW.
At first glance…not relining. However, a closer peep at the bottom, left and you will see a baby elephant which appears to be reclining in the shade while mum, sisters, cousins aunties and uncles provide shade and some sense of security.
No need for shade or protection here…
this zebra was quite happy to stretch out on the ground in the middle of the day,
I dare-say relying on its mates to alert it to predators.

I like your photo selection. I’ve never noticed this before, but the zebras’ tail appears to be an optical illusion. Or do they really have a double tail?

I spent a fair bit of time looking at that zebra’s rump while framing the picture and did not notice that. As far as I am aware there is only one tail, however, this one has two stripes…it appears. But all zebras are different so this one may be the ‘different’ one.

I have a lot of zebra shots but this rump shot is the best I’ve seen 😉

I was thinking how much that rump would make in the sale yards if it belong to one of my sheep or cattle of yesteryear. After your comment I have been viewing rumps (zebra) and they all seem to have two white stripes down their tail, with different horizontal, or black stripes.
