Edinburgh Zoo has a new arrival.
Oberon, a Grevy’s zebra stallion, has arrived in the capital from Chessington World of Adventures’ Zoo as part of the breeding programme for the endangered species.
Keepers at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) are hopeful he will mate with the zoo’s resident females Azizi and Grace before he returns to Chessington at the end of the year.
The wildlife conservation charity is now home to four zebras, Oberon, Azizi, Grace and Daniella.
Visitors can spot the new arrival along with the rest of the herd in their hilltop habitat at Edinburgh Zoo.
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
