Busch Gardens Tampa Bay welcomed several Grevy’s zebra foals to their Serengeti Plain™ this spring. On March 11, 2008, a female Grevy’s zebra foal became the newest Serengeti herd member. Her birth is the third a series of zebra births with a male born on December 27, 2007 and another male born on February 26, 2008. These births bring the park’s total for Grevy’s zebras to 14 and their entire zebra population to 33. As an Endangered species, each successful Grevy’s zebra birth contributes to global conservation and awareness.
The SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund supports a conservation project for Grevy’s zebras in Ethiopia. The project researches the species’ present population size, reproductive biology, habitat requirements and interactions/conflicts with local domestic livestock. |
