I wonder why they call it that.

(Look of clueless stupidity that I have perfected.)

He’s going to have problems fitting into ANY neighborhood

Whew, for a while I thought it was Tiger mania.

Keep an eye out for the Crocs from PBS. They love zeebas.

Like I said doc, I fell asleep while watching my grandson coloring. Now how do I get this off!

well I whipped the swine flu so shouldn’t be a problem

Whew..that was last on the list! Thought I was gonna run outa options! ;o|

as a person with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome … I am gonna educate you now. :DPeople with the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes and hypermobile spectrum disorders (HSD) often identify themselves as zebras.

Medical students have been taught for decades that, “When you hear hoofbeats behind you, don’t expect to see a zebra.” In other words, look for the more common and usual, not the surprising, diagnosis.

But many of us spend years pursuing a diagnosis for disorders that aren’t well known. Or aren’t expected in someone who looks normal, or is too young to have so many problems, or too old. Or even, what we might have is considered too rare for anybody to be diagnosed with it.

So the zebra became our symbol to mean, “Sometimes when you hear hoofbeats, it really is a zebra.” Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are unexpected because they’re rare. Hypermobile spectrum disorders are common, but are unexpected because they remain misdiagnosed or under-diagnosedSource: https://www.ehlers-danlos.com/why-the-zebra/.

The problem of a tiger trying to change its stripes.

Better not show yourself to any lions.

Look! That guy has zebra muscles!
