Edinburgh Zoo welcomes new arrival from Chessington

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.
