International Zebra Day Jan 31, 2026

International Zebra Day

Some animals whisper their way through the wild. Zebras don"t. They show up in high-contrast stripes, act like it"s the most practical outfit ever invented—and somehow, it is. International Zebra Day, celebrated on January 31, gives these black-and-white originals their moment to step out of the herd and into the spotlight.
