Welcome to our Newest Addition!

Be sure to welcome Samuel, the Zoo's second zebra born in 2006!

On the morning of July 13th, zookeepers arrived to discover a 78 pound foal in the African Savannah exhibit. His mother is one of the Zoo's female Plains Zebras, Milia (mil-LAY-ah).

The new zebra is healthy and growing every day. His older brother, Jackson, was born in March to mom, Bodine. Jack is their father.

Plains zebras are one of three zebra species and are native to Africa. This herd animal’s stripes confuse predators, making it difficult to single out a zebra.
