We had a speaker at our Camera Club yesterday to talk about methods for darkening backgrounds for wildlife images. This was one of the Zebra's at Melbourne Zoo I photographed a few weeks ago. It was such a cheeky animal and hilarious to watch the keeper trying to get it into it's night den. All of the other Zebras went running in straight away when the keeper opened the gate and called them in. This one hung back. He would then walk up to about 20 m to the gate and go running back in the opposite direction to hide around the corner of the fence. He would then run back and do the same thing again, teasing the keeper into thinking he was going to go through the gate. He did this about 10 times before finally going through, to the cheers of those watching. I imagine this could be a nightly ritual.
