The mane is short and stands upright, indicative of a young zebra, and the ears are pricked forward, capturing the foal's inquisitive nature. The legs are slender and proportionate, highlighting the foal's developing strength and agility. This Mojo figure serves as ba captivating collectible.
The Mojo Zebra Foal figure measures 2.6" long by 2.8" tall.
Zebra foals are born into the wilds of Africa, where they must quickly adapt to the challenges of their environment. A zebra foal's birth is a significant event within the herd, as the foal is immediately integrated into the social structure. Zebra foals are typically born after a gestation period of about 12 to 14 months, and they are precocial, meaning they are relatively mature and mobile shortly after birth. This early development is crucial for survival, as the foal must be able to stand, walk, and even run within hours of being born to keep up with the moving herd and avoid predators.
The first few weeks of a zebra foal's life are critical. During this period, the foal stays close to its mother, nursing frequently and forming a strong bond. The mother is highly protective and vigilant, ensuring that the foal is safe from potential threats. The foal's striped coat, while similar to that of an adult, is softer and often appears brownish at birth, gradually darkening to the more familiar black and white pattern as it grows. These stripes are unique to each individual and play a crucial role in social bonding and recognition within the herd.
