TIL that the taxonomic name for Zebras is Hippotigris, which translates to Tiger Horse.

Aunque las cebras eran conocidas en tiempos romanos (hippotigris), la geopolítica tras la caída del imperio dificultaría que se volviera a ver en Europa. Los viajes de los portugueses al Congo permitirían recuperar el contacto. Filippo Pigafetta traduciría el […]

A black and white photo of a zebra (hippotigris) walking in the savanna. Zebra stripes come in different patterns, unique to each individual. Zebras share the genus Equus with horses and asses, the three groups being the only living members of the family Equidae.

A woodcut print of a zebra, done in black ink on white paper. The zebra is crammed into the rectangular confines of the print. Its stripes are inverted and break the outline of the body up.

It's always fascinating to see the zebras strolling through the pine forest, as if they've always belonged there.

Have a good day at work☕

Hippotigris, es un Naamán Genético de Nivel 4, experimento antropomórfico de Espectra. Posee sentidos agudizados, velocidad y agilidad excepcionales, resistencia mejorada, y regeneración acelerada. Trabaja como bombero y vendedor ambulante, y tiene un fuerte instinto protector hacia su comunidad.

Was distracted in workplace training today and reading about zebras. Did you know that the subgenus of Equus that includes the three extant zebra species is called Hippotigris? That’s right, guys. Zebras are tiger-horses. You should now call them that.

I'm irrationally glad to confirm that hippos indeed gallop in rivers, therefore making their names SO satisfying.

It'd only be better if it was "river zebra", but zebra in ancient Greek is hippotigris, "horse tiger", and it's also so correct I'm just going to bask in this strange righteousness

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.

Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

Stressful day with little time.
The two zebras should brighten it up a bit.

Get through the day well.☕🖖

Zebras! Perfect horse design, no notes, would rather herd zebras. Hippotigris is accurate, they'll bite a lion in the face, don't try it <3

And Tina had gone off sailing on her large boat that is used for the most part for pleasure cruising.

So Claire and Ethel abandoned the story and went outside to feed the hippotigris.

Real Black Forest zebras in their natural environment.
The pine forest 😁😎

It's always fascinating how they disappear into the huge enclosures between the pine trees together with the Watusi and Ostriches.

"In ancient times, the African zebra was called hippotigris ("horse tiger") by the Greeks and Romans."

Zebras could be HIPPOTIGRIS, how cool would that be?

I had whole portfolios of drawings like this, a specimen of Hippotigris shoshonensis, an extinct North American zebra-like horse of the early Pleistocene, drawn from life (well, you know what I mean) in the Field Museum of Natural History

A drawing in colored pencil on black art paper of a skeleton of a large horse-shaped creature facing right, the left rear leg only sketched in. I counted every rib! Every vertebra is distinctly itself. This is an arts education sort of thing.
