I get the same results when I wear my biker colours

There are "Unicorns" in GoT  .

I didn't realize that the lizard lions that the Crannogmen hunt in the marshes of The Neck are probably alligators or crocodiles. I would laugh if it is confirmed that GoT unicorns are rhino's.

( why did Africans never domesticate zebras ? )

Domestication

Attempts have been made to train zebras for riding, since they have better resistance than horses to African diseases. Most of these attempts failed, though, due to the zebra's more unpredictable nature and tendency to panic under stress. For this reason, zebra-mules or zebroids (crosses between any species of zebra and a horse, pony, donkey or ass) are preferred over purebred zebras.

In England, the zoological collector Lord Rothschild frequently used zebras to draw a carriage. In 1907, Rosendo Ribeiro, the first doctor in Nairobi, Kenya, used a riding zebra for house calls. In the mid-19th century, Governor George Grey imported zebras to New Zealand from his previous posting in South Africa, and used them to pull his carriage on his privately owned Kawau Island.

Captain Horace Hayes, in "Points of the Horse" (circa 1893), compared the usefulness of different zebra species. In 1891, Hayes broke a mature, intact mountain zebra stallion to ride in two days time, and the animal was quiet enough for his wife to ride and be photographed upon. He found the Burchell's zebra easy to break, and considered it ideal for domestication, as it was immune to the bite of the tsetse fly. He considered the quagga (now extinct) well-suited to domestication due to being easy to train to saddle and harness

I've heard that they are just plain mean and can't be truly be broken in the sense that horses/donkeys can be.

ETA: I think it was an old National Geo mag from years ago and maybe a Discovery channel show or two.
