Zoos Celebrate Multiple Zebra Births Nationwide

Zoos across the United States are celebrating several zebra births this summer, reflecting ongoing conservation efforts for both endangered and non-endangered species. Reid Park Zoo in Tucson welcomed a female Grevy’s zebra foal on July 8, a significant event given the species’ critically endangered status and high juvenile mortality rate. Caldwell Zoo in Texas also announced a Grevy’s zebra foal born to first-time mother Amali, contributing further to species preservation. At Cape May County Zoo in New Jersey, a Grant’s zebra foal was born, marking the second zebra birth there this year and the third for mother Gretta. Both the Grevy’s and Grant’s foals are healthy, have integrated into their respective herds, and are now visible to zoo visitors. These births underscore the crucial role of zoos in conservation and public awareness.
