Zebra Born At Como Zoo

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – St. Paul's Como Zoo welcomed a baby zebra early Sunday morning.

According to Como Zoo officials, zookeepers believe the foal was born sometime in the late hours of Saturday or early hours of Sunday.

When zookeepers came in on Sunday they found the baby up, walking and following its mother.

"There were no complications and mother and baby appear to be doing great," Allison Jungheim, senior zookeeper at Como Zoo, said.

Zookeepers said the sex of the foal has not been determined.

This is the second baby zebra the zoo has welcomed this year.

Officials said another foal was born on July 27.

The zebras can be seen in the outdoor zebra and kudu exhibit from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
