The Wild 5: Zebra - 2022 Proof Fine Silver 2oz High Relief $20 Coin - SLE

The final coin in the series features perhaps the most stylish of African animals – the Zebra. Just like human fingerprints, the striped pattern of each Zebra is unique to each individual. Although they may appear to be badly camouflaged, when they are in a herd the distinct stripes merge into a big mass and make it extremely difficult for predators to single out individual animals. Owing primarily to their distinctive striped coats, a group of zebra is called a ‘dazzle’. This name also refers to a unique phenomenon called “motion dazzle”, an optical illusion that occurs when groups of zebra move quickly together. One of the world’s most awe-inspiring spectacles occurs when massive herds of Zebra merge into a big mass consisting of tens of thousands of the species and migrate across the Serengeti plains.
