Zebra crossing: Paignton Zoo’s zebra move house in next stage of redevelopment
Paignton Zoo have moved their zebra to a brand new, custom-built home in the next stage of their major redevelopment project.
Paignton Zoo is home to four female Hartmann’s mountain zebra: Taru and daughter Tamali, and Leila and daughter Lia. Team Leader of Large Mammals Stuart Parr said:
“This is an exciting move for our zebra that has been a long time in the planning. This move might look like a big change to visitors that are used to seeing our zebra on their grassy hill, but the new home is much more similar to their natural environment, so it’s really good to see them settling in.”
The next stage of developments also required moving the giraffe over to the old elephant paddock, which proved to be quite the challenge. Paignton Zoo will be continuing to make developments throughout their centenary year and beyond, with an exciting new baboon enclosure set to be built in the zebra’s previous home.
