The unique stripes of zebras make them one of the animals most familiar to people. They occur in a variety of habitats, such as grasslands, savannas, woodlands, thorny scrublands, mountains, and coastal hills. However, various anthropogenic factors have had a severe impact on zebra populations, in particular hunting for skins and habitat destruction.
The Robberg Nature Reserve, a national monument and marine protected area, lies on a peninsula – a scenic and inspiring finger of land on which to hike that provides access to Cape fur seals and beaches that stretch for miles. Only a few kilometres from Plettenberg Bay.
The White Tiger is neither a subspecies in its own right, nor an albino form of a normal tiger. Rather, it is simply a rare form of Bengal Tiger that possesses a specific gene, giving it a lighter appearance. This variation is truly exquisite, giving the White Tiger an undeniable sense of mystery and beauty. Their blue eyes, rose-pink noses and light brown stripes make these tigers stand out from their rust-coloured peers.
