The Wild 5: Zebra - 2022 Uncirculated Cupro Nickel $1 Coin - SLE

Sub-Saharan Africa provides the most incredible opportunities for wildlife sightings, with an extremely varied mixture of animals across the continent. With such diversity of wildlife, Africa holds the titles for the biggest animals, the most dangerous animals, the fastest animals, the strongest animals, the most elusive animals, and so on. Therefore, it seems only right to depict some more of these iconic animals on a brand new five-coin series. Whilst horses and zebras are closely related, and part of the same Equidae family, they’re not the same species. Unlike horses, zebras cannot be domesticated, with training often being unsuccessful. This ‘untrainable’ behaviour may be the result of evolution since zebras naturally live in large groups in an environment full of predators, their strong survival instinct makes them considerably less friendly to humans than their horse and donkey cousins.
