Care and compassion are a language in itself. In an incident that will fill your heart with love, reveals how caretakers at a wildlife trust dress in black and white stripes, so that young orphan zebras take them as their surrogate mother. According to the post shared on the trust’s official page, both these zebras currently need some dedicated care and attention. Revealing Diria and Nzuki's favorite activity and how this trick works the post stated, “Diria and Nzuki’s favorite activity is trotting around after their Keepers. In the wild, zebra foals imprint on their mother’s striped pattern, so we created identically striped coats that can be worn by the Keepers on zebra duty so that Nzuki and Diria can imprint as nature intended, without becoming overly attached to any one individual.” The wildlife trust has been using this technique in the past to take care of other Zebras as well.
