A Kenyan man has become the talk of social media after sharing a photo of his domesticated zebra. The picture quickly caught the attention of many people online because it is not common to see a zebra being kept like a domestic animal.
The post spread fast, with many netizens reacting with surprise, laughter, and curiosity.
According to the online discussion, the man was also seen moving with the zebra together with a donkey as they carried a water jerrican. This made the story even more unusual, since zebras are usually seen in the wild and not in everyday village or town life.
Many people said the scene looked strange but also interesting.
The man’s post led to many people tagging the Kenya Wildlife Service, commonly known as KWS, asking them to respond. Some users wanted to know whether it is allowed to keep a zebra in this way, while others waited to hear if the wildlife agency would step in.
The post has now created a lot of debate online, with many people expecting an official reaction.
Some social media users said zebras are similar to donkeys in some ways, especially because both can be used to carry loads. However, they also noted that the main difference is the color and stripes on the zebra’s skin.
Even so, the idea of a zebra being used like a domestic animal left many people amazed.
There were also comments pointing out that zebras have sometimes been seen in towns near national parks, especially in places where wildlife and people live close to each other. In such areas, animals may cross into human settlements more often than usual. But keeping one as a domesticated animal is still very unusual and has raised many questions.
The photo has now gone viral, with people continuing to share it and ask whether the zebra is truly domesticated or simply tame. Others are waiting to see what KWS will say about the matter. Because of the attention it has received, the story has become one of the most talked-about online posts.
