Newborn Zebra Foal Joins Kilimanjaro Safaris Herd at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

There’s a new set of stripes on the savanna! A Hartmann’s mountain zebra foal has arrived at Kilimanjaro Safaris in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Dr. Mark Penning, VP of Disney’s Animals, Science & Environment, shared some exciting news on Instagram! A new Hartmann’s mountain zebra foal has joined the Kilimanjaro Safaris herd at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This is the second foal for mom Juno, following Cricket’s arrival last year.

Hartmann’s mountain zebras are native to Namibia and Angola in Africa. They’re the smallest zebra subspecies, distinguished by dewlaps on their necks and a lack of stripes on their bellies. Sadly, the International Union for Conservation of Nature classifies them as vulnerable due to threats like hunting and habitat loss.

Did you know? Another Hartmann’s mountain zebra foal was recently born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge! Disney is dedicated to conservation efforts, and these new arrivals are a testament to their commitment to protecting this fascinating species.
