⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ A+ VINTAGE ROADSTER Despite few major design updates since the Ice Age, a worthy investment for current and future aficionados. Oxygen-processing and sustained land speed unparalleled. Extremely rare, though hopefully not for long. #rateaspecies

Zebras like to roll in dirt several times a day, which helps reduce ticks and other parasites on their skin. This also creates a natural pool of water when the rainy season comes that retains moisture longer than in the surrounding areas.🦓 #Zebra #InternationalZebraDay
