Born to a pair of six-year-old zebras, father Desta and mother Kolle, Izara, as the foal has been named, is the latest addition to a pack of five Grevy's zebras - the largest and most endangered zebra species.The four adult zebras arrived here in June last year from the Tanganyika Wildlife Park in the United States as part of a population management programme by the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria.
Dr Luis Carlos Neves, Mandai Wildlife Group's vice-president of animal care, said:"Every birth is a celebration, and this healthy and active foal will play a part in contributing to the population under human care." According to Dr Neves, there are fewer than 2,000 Grevy's zebras left in the wild and about 400 in human care.
