Babies at the Zoo

Yes! , the Little Zebra is here. We see "it" at 5 days old. Cute as a button with brownish fuzz covering the body. Born March 23 and as of April 2 , the mother has not brought baby inside so the Keepers do not know boy or girl..They are waiting to get their hands on it to check out the health but told me it looks healthy.






It ran and jumped around, never too far from Mom.




Hey Mom, catch me if you can..





Spotted these one day old ducklings sitting in the sun waiting to jump in the water when Mom says its OK.







While watching the Giraffes the whole group took off running like something was chasing them, Even the Gazelle joined in and ran with them.




Running very fast kicking up dust they ran through this muddy area. When they would slide on the mud I was afraid they would fall.



Sometimes they would circle around and go back the other way round. This lasted over 5 minutes and one ran through the covered area and hit his neck on the pole. Everyone at the Zoo seem perplexed as to why this was happening.


Maybe a snake came out of the resaca, just some unplanned enrichment..




After things calmed down all Giraffes were thirsty.
