SUMMARY: A new female Grant zebra, born 10 days ago at the Hattiesburg Zoo, is thriving in the African velt exhibit alongside her parents, Samira and Mari. Although she has yet to be named, zookeepers report that the other animals in the exhibit are adjusting well to their new neighbor. Initially, the mother and baby were isolated for bonding, but now everyone is back together. The animals are curious about the newborn, but her mother is protective, keeping them at a distance. With this addition, the zoo’s population of Grant zebras has increased to four.

The Hattiesburg Zoo’s new zebra is doing well.
