This Is The Cutest,

baby animal I have seen in a long time,

 but what is it? image credit Maasai Mara Wildlife Conservancies Association

 clue, it was photographed in Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, where photographers Rahul Sachdev and Antony Tira, who is also a tour guide, snapped some photos of it, image credits for this one above and the two below, catersnews,

 another clue, like both of its parents it is totally unique, give up?

it is of course a spotted zebra! Parmale Lemein, a wildlife specialist from the Matira Bush Camp, told the Daily Nation that this was the first such case of a polka dot zebra at the Mara Reserve. It’s most likely that the baby zebra has melanism, which is the opposite of albinism, however, he had some sad news, tissues out now, no similar zebras have survived past six months with such a condition in African parks, and in case you are wondering why I said the foal and its parents are unique, it is a fact that no two zebras have the same pattern, just the same as we all have different fingerprints, zebras have different stripes, you have to admit it, he is a real cutey.
