The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums
A Grant’s Zebra was born Saturday, July 31 at the Kansas City Zoo to Mom, Jet, and Dad, Zanthus. She has brown stripes instead of black and weighed in at 79 pounds. Brown stripes are natural among newborn zebras; they will turn to black when she is between 9 and 18 months old. Every zebra has a different pattern of stripes. The stripes help them avoid predator attacks as they make it hard for a zebra hungry hunter to single out one animal from a fleeing herd.
wow! I never knew that all baby zebras have brown stripes. I wonder why I’ve never seen this before? Brown does look nice on zebras 🙂
What pretty girl !

Is there any way to get a high resolution photo of the mama and baby together? Beautiful!
The Kansas City Zoo is holding a naming contest for the new baby zebra.
