The female zebra of Southwick’s Zoo, Grevy, gave birth on October 2. The foal is believed to be a female, but it is difficult to get too close due to the mother’s protectiveness.

This is the first zebra born at Southwick’s Zoo in many years. The foal was walking and nursing shortly after birth.

2014's previous new arrivals included three giraffes, a tapir, and many others such as African crested porcupines, several monkeys, Barbary sheep, and pygmy goats. Visitors can see the foal in the African Plains habitat. Southwick’s Zoo is open daily 10am-5pm through October.
