What’s black and white and new at the zoo? Our new baby zebra!
We’re thrilled to announce that in the early morning hours on May 21st, our Hartmann’s Mountain zebra, ‘Leba’, gave birth to a healthy female foal! Mom and baby are bonding well and settling in together. You can already spot (or should we say ‘stripe’?) the little one running around the African Savannah yard.
Sired by our male Hartmann’s Mountain zebra, ‘Eros’, this striped addition to the zoo is an important contribution to the Hartmann’s Mountain Zebra Species Survival Plan (SSP) which works to maintain the genetic diversity of this Vulnerable species under human care.
Join us in welcoming this little one to the zoo family!
