The Zebras (silent, 1930s)

This 1930s silent film captures scenes of horses and zebras in different environments, showcasing their movement, interactions, and human connections. The footage begins with three horses in a fenced area, calmly eating and standing together, followed by a winter scene where horses pull a wagon through the snow as a man walks alongside them. The sequence shifts to more dynamic moments as the horses run through the snowy landscape before standing still in the cold. The film then transitions to a zoo setting, where two zebras are seen running, standing, and eating within their enclosure. A notable scene features a man walking with a zebra, pausing together before the man feeds it. The film concludes with a profile shot of the zebra and its handler before they walk away, subtly emphasizing the relationship between humans and animals in both domestic and controlled environments. Title cards intermittently appear, likely providing context or narration for the silent footage.
