    It is a young 'chap' called Balu who has left Knowsley now that his mum has given birth again. Some photos on Knowsley Facebook page of the move, the crate and the lorry etc,.

    I have, but I am afraid I shall not be able to post them for a few weeks as I took them with my SLR and with those I get them printed out and then scan them. I am waiting until my next payday to have them done - or at least time it so that they are back for collection after I have been paid! That means it will be around three weeks before I can post them. Sorry Jordan.

    Two more females are due to give birth this year. A Grant's Zebra birth was imminent as of the other week too.

    It is (afaik). I wonder if the Studbook keeper has allocated their first calf (Name?) to a new destination yet, he is fast approaching two years old.
