The females are much lighter and usually look like the giraffes we see in the circuses at home.
Then there's the ubiquitous zebra, almost as numerous as the kongoni.
You see vast herds of zebra at many places along the railway, and thereafter, as you roam about the level spots of East Africa, you are always running into herds of them.

At first, the sight of a herd of zebras is a surprise, for you have been accustomed to seeing them in the small numbers found in captivity.

It is a source of passing wonder that these rare animals should be roaming about the suburbs of towns in hundred lots.

You decide that it would be a shame to shoot a zebra and determine not to join in this heartless slaughter.
Later on your sentiments will undergo a change.

Everybody will tell you that the zebra is a fearful pest and must be exterminated if civilization and progress are to continue.
