Pictures of a polka-dotted zebra foal taken in Kenya’s Masai Mara reserve are trending on social media.

The animal has been named Tira, after the wildlife guide who took the pictures.

Visitors usually go to the Masai  Mara for sightings of the big five.

The new must see is a zebra foal with a dots instead of stripes.

Guide Antony Tira’s pictures of little animal have captivated social media.

Veterans recall this phenomenon, caused by a melanin disorder,  was seen some year ago in the same reserve.

If it puzzles wildlife experts, the foal could absolutely baffle grammar buffs. It could change the collected noun for zebras from a dazzle to something like a morse code massage of the black and white browsers..
