Zoo officials said after a 12-month wait, they welcomed the birth of a 98-pound male zebra at approximately 7:11 p.m. on June 2."By two-hours-old, the foal started little gallops, known as 'zoomies,' which is a natural behavior for babies in the wild who must quickly be on the move from predators after birth," a press release stated.
"We monitor the birth remotely because it is so important that we give mom and baby space and time to naturally connect in this start of life," said Melissa Dacumos, associate director of Utah’s Hogle Zoo Animal Care. "After Ziva and her foal were able to have privacy for the entire first night while being monitored via camera only, our zookeepers began quietly entering their space the next morning.
