Captured on camera - the World's most Amazing Zebra Crossing [w/Pic]

dailymail.co.uk — It is one of the great spectacles of the natural world and the largest mass movement of land animals on the planet. This extraordinary picture, taken by award-winning wildlife photographer Steve Bloom, shows just a fraction of the 1.5 million majestic wildebeest which cross the Mara River in Kenya every year.

  • alex7575, on 11/25/2007, -0/+53That looks like an Animal Planet rendition of 300
  • DeviantDragon, on 11/25/2007, -1/+37Why the ***** is the zebra crossing emphasized when the main thing happening is the wildebeest crossing?
  • alex7575, on 11/25/2007, -0/+21I hear you get dark and white meat from the same cut...
  • crushfan, on 11/25/2007, -0/+19- Tonight, we're served in dinner!
  • obiethedog, on 11/25/2007, -0/+10Long live the King! NO!!!! Mufasa! :(
  • inactive, on 11/25/2007, -1/+8Can you make steaks from Zebra meat?
  • physicx, on 11/25/2007, -1/+8Amazing picture by Steve Bloom, click on the thumbnail to see the enlarged version and the incredible detail.
  • abbott75, on 11/25/2007, -2/+8To trick people into thinking it is in fact a pedestrian crossing.
  • cerealjynx, on 11/25/2007, -1/+6That's seriously the best job ever.
    Er, wildlife photographer
    Not Zebra.
  • shuckl4k, on 11/25/2007, -1/+6like 1/4 zebras. wtf.
  • Pinkertinkle, on 11/25/2007, -1/+5Looks like a Chinese job fair.
  • phnx0221, on 11/25/2007, -0/+4Wow, good call. There is a hell of a lot more detail in the enlarged version. Wow...
  • inactive, on 11/25/2007, -0/+4Well at least it was an article WITH a pic (which was also noted in the title).
  • mellomeh, on 11/25/2007, -1/+5Nice picture, but why on earth does the Daily Mail get at least one story on digg per day? I notice that it's always these kinds of 'oh wow look at that' stories that get dugg and not any of their political stuff. Do non-UK people seriously read that website without noticing the ultra-conservative bias?
  • db113456, on 11/25/2007, -0/+4Eeee, there is a lot of GNU in that HURD, not just Zebra :-)
  • Buddhist, on 11/25/2007, -0/+3THIS
    IS

    KENYAAAAAAAAAA
  • V1ncent, on 11/25/2007, -0/+3The middle wildebeests are CGI and the Zebra on the extreme left is holding a Budweiser!!! FAIL!
  • Twoodge, on 11/25/2007, -1/+4It's a shame that the extent of competent reporting by the Daily Mail hits only the point of striped animals.
  • FlyingFredCurry, on 11/25/2007, -0/+3"Pics or it didn't... HOLY SH*T! LOOK OUT!!"
  • theOster, on 11/25/2007, -0/+2i ***** hate /comments.
  • joshjoneswas, on 11/25/2007, -0/+2anyone else notice the "preditors" in the description of the picture right below it?
  • austinh, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1Lion King anyone?
  • KingGorilla, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1Zebra sounds cooler
  • eastdale12, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1Chaos.
  • UnleashChaos, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1Simply amazing, 250,000 deaths in a single trip though... that's a lot.
  • vulcanius, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1Those poor crocodiles... how ever do they survive.
  • silverwolf761, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1I'd say a lot less than that. I only count around 13 Zebra or so in that pic
  • FlyingFredCurry, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1"Pretty" gets all the attention again. Even wildebeest and gazelles are fed up.
  • MikeEFresh, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1Abbey Road?
  • majorian, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1I Gnu it would get busy!

  • westhepirate, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1In the lower left corner you can see Simba grabbing a tree for dear life.
  • inactive, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1It's not actually the world's most amazing zebra crossing. In fact, there was one in Zaire not long ago that was, believe it or not, 1 amazing-point higher in the world rankings. This is in fact the world's 2nd most amazing zebra crossing.
  • kenbiz, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1awesome and marvelous

    No clue where I got that...
  • lowmagnet, on 11/25/2007, -0/+0My first thought too. I was expecting a lot of white paint.
  • inactive, on 11/25/2007, -0/+0That is an amazing photograph. Wow
