Watching out for zebras.
Most of the time animals grazing and browsing together would rely on each other for vigilance against predation. We found this happening amongst a small group of zebras which refused to leave the company of Giraffes that were feeding on the edge of some bushlands. When the herd of giraffes moved, they also moved alongside them, being dwarfed by these tall animals.
