The mother was on a duration of 13 months pregnancy and the vet had closely watched over the mother's progress so as to capture if there was any changes in behavior, including after birth.

In order to safeguard the mother and baby, the management had built a wooden fence to prevent animals on the other side including a pair of ostrich and camel, and a giraffe from disturbing them, as the 'baby' is a newcomer to the community of animals, here.

Currently, the baby zebra is feeding on his mother's milk, and will go on solid food after six months.
