"Anytime a new foal is born, it's a reason to celebrate, and we are so happy that guests will have the opportunity to watch this foal grow up," said Chris Bartos, an assistant curator at Franklin Park Zoo.
"Watching Zoey introduce her foal to her outdoor habitat has been a heartwarming experience for our staff. She is an attentive mother who is taking great care in making her foal feel safe and protected," Bartos said.
A statement from Franklin Park Zoo describes the 87-pound foal as 'bright and alert.' She's the second zebra foal born since spring, the zoo said.
The Hartmann's Mountain Zebra is native to southern parts of Africa. There are fewer than 25,000 of them left in the wild, classifying them as a vulnerable species.
