I’m sure that is it, but I liked thinking it was something funnier!
Now that's a cool find! He really does look a bit lost, though - like "where are my peeps?"

Yes, maybe embarrassed! These are wildebeest however!😁
I realized my mistake a little while later and went back to correct it but the time for editing had passed. How embarrassing!! LOL!!!

Probably a young male who got kicked out by the herd boss over the gals, and he is hanging with this herd of Wildebeest for protection. Not many lions, leopards or cheetahs would want to take on this bunch as a group.
That implies some level of abstract reasoning and not just instinct, doesn’t it?

I can almost hear him saying "Help"
Great set, Beth, yup the zebra looks a bit confused and lost.

Nice shot. I wonder what he witnessed. Probably a wildebeest murder by croc.
He sure stands out in the crowd.

Great picture but not that unusal. you will find zebra intermingling with wildebeast quite often. Why I do not know.
He was taking a nap in the tall grass…when he woke up, they were all around him.
Great shots - I believe everybody has felt that way at one time or another.

That is one of Face Book's pluses, no edit time limit.
Does he go up to the others and say, "What's gnu"?

It implies needing to feel safer.
Many animals, though they don't "think" like humans, at least not to the extent we do, are capable of things most would not suspect.
My Grandfather (50s when I was a little kid) had a pair of mules that had a sense of humor. Both, but one more than the other. He liked to sneak up behind people, stretch out his neck and do a snort against the back of your head and then toss his head and bray as if laughing his ass off.
Once after a heavy rain I was wading in the clear water of the roadside ditch looking at all the little critters swimming around. Granddad was plowing the vegetable garden for Spring planting using the mules. I had my back to the fence and as they came to the end of the row by the fence that mule did that to me. Did you know a third-grader could do a three-foot vertical jump out of almost a foot of water while wearing rubber boots and a raincoat? OK, so maybe it was only about a foot, but I felt like I was on the way to the moon. And the mule had a real old-fashioned laugh session. Granddad had a bit of a grin on his face as he scolded the mule, while I finally sort of chuckled after I said a few things to the mule using words I had some adults use. I also got a "Don't use those words!"
Granddad was Southern Baptist and Grandma was First Methodist, so a darn or similar was about the closest they ever got to cussing. Now Dad being a truck driver and my two uncles being veterans were a different matter.
Another wonderful set, Beth. To me they are Nat Geo. worthy.
