LOS ANGELES () — The Los Angeles Zoo is celebrating the arrival of its newest baby resident!
The zoo announced the birth of a male Grevy’s zebra on Friday. It was born this spring and kept behind the scenes for a few weeks to bond with his mother.
The young zebra has been intermittently on public view as he gets used to his surroundings. He will be regularly on exhibit beginning next week, weather permitting, according to the zoo.
This is the first Grevy’s zebra born at the L.A. Zoo in seven years.
Like all Grevy’s zebras, the new baby has a one-of-a-kind stripe pattern as unique as an individual human fingerprint.
Grevy’s zebras are native to the semi-arid and open scrub grasslands of southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya. Adult males stand five feet tall at the shoulders and can weigh nearly 1,000 lbs., with females being about 10% smaller. While their life expectancy in the wild is 12 to 13 years, Grevy’s zebras can live 22 to 30 years in zoos.
The species is classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Populations have decreased by 54% over the last 40 years due to habitat loss, unregulated hunting, diseases, and predation, and it is estimated that fewer than 2,000 remain in the wild.
