Baby Zebra

Today we traveled to the Lacey Spring Stable to visit a baby zebra and his trainer. Not only did we get to see a baby zebra we were able to feel one too (and yes, you can feel the stripes). His name is Zoro and he is 4 1/2 months old. Definitely a memorable experience. We learned that baby zebras are born brown with white stripes (notice the legs) and then black hair begins to take its place. By spring Zoro will be black with white stripes or is it white with black stripes???



This is such a great photo!
