Team leader Helen Clarke- Bennett said ‘We are delighted with the birth of the zebra foal. The mother was pregnant when she arrived at Dublin Zoo so we were extremely excited about the prospect of the birth as it has been 23 years since a zebra foal was born at Dublin Zoo.’
Helen continued, ‘Mother and foal are doing brilliantly. We look forward to watching the foal grow and develop with the rest of the zebra herd’.
The common zebra is also known as the Grant’s zebra and are the most geographically widespread of all zebras. They range from the south of Ethiopia through east Africa to as far south as Botswana and eastern South Africa.
Dublin Zoo, a not for profit organisation, is open seven days a week from 9.30am to 6pm.
