Zebras Born At Six Flags Great Adventure: See The Photos

JACKSON, NJ — Baby animals are a common arrival at the Wild Safari at Six Flags Great Adventure, with baby giraffes and tiger and lion cubs joining the animals living at the park.

The newest addition is three zebra foals who were born in recent weeks, the park announced.

All three are Grant’s zebras, the smallest and most geographically widespread subspecies of plains zebra native to eastern Africa, the park said. One baby is male, one is female, and the sex of the third foal has not yet been determined, park officials said.

The youngest foal was born just a few days ago, officials said.

The babies have not yet been named, park officials said, but they can be seen by visitors to the Wild Safari through Nov. 9, when the safari closes for the season.

"The energetic youngsters can be seen sticking close to their mothers as they explore the safari pastures, develop their stripes, and interact with the rest of the herd," the park said.

Animal care specialists are continuing to monitor their early growth and behavior.

"These births are an exciting milestone for our zebra herd," said Dr. William Rives, the safari director. "The foals are healthy, curious, and already showing unique personalities. Fall is a beautiful time to visit the safari and see these little ones up close."

The safari has more than 1,200 animals from around the world, including giraffes, rhinos, antelope, and lions across 350 acres of naturalistic habitats. Two giraffe babies were born there in the last 10 monthsL Coral, who was announced in March and in July Mbi was announced.
