Visitors to The Living Desert are eligible to vote on the name for the male zebra foal that was born at the zoo on May 30th. Through the month of August, guests will receive one ballot for every paid admission to vote on one of the five names selected by the Africa animal care staff. Voters are invited to select from the following names: • Zuberi (pronounced Zoo-BERRY) African/Swahili for Strong • Jelani (pronounced Jeh-LAH-nee) Swahili for Mighty, Great/Powerful • Jasiri (pronounced Jah-ZEE-ree) Swahili for Bold • Xola (pronounced ZO-la) African for Stay in Peace • Joshi (pronounced JO-she) Swahili for Galloping Grevy zebras are endangered in the wild and The Living Desert is an active participant in the Grevy Zebra Species Survival Plan®. This is the third foal for the zebra’s mom, Natalia, and first for the dad, Conrad. The Living Desert is currently home to two Grevy's zebra mares and one stallion, plus the new, yet-to-be named foal. The Living Desert is open 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. daily with the last admission at 1 p.m.
