The Cotsworld Wildlife Park in England has a new Chapman's zebra foal and this babe is VERY special.

Usually, dominant females are the only ones that give birth. But Sarah, a lower ranking zebra, who also didn't really show interest in the foal's papa, Dampy, gave birth to new youngster!

She's so CUTEzZzz!

A Baby Grevy's Zebra was welcomed late May and after only 17 minutes from her birth, the zebra started walking around!

Human babes definitely can't do that!

Savanna is slowly beginning to explore her home but she's sticking close to Mama as she does it.

Check out Savanna (above) saying hello to everyone at the Cincinnati Zoo!

What happens when you cross a parrot, a zebra and drunken Iowa man driving a truck?

Pure debauchery!…Or more like more pure illegality!

A Dubuque man with a zebra and parrot in his truck decided to have a drink or seven before heading home.

Unfortunately, when you have a zebra and parrot in your car, you're going to look suspicious.

Especially if you're swerving all over the place!

Check out the wackiness (above) to hear the whole story!

The environmental minister in the UK is hoping that by 2015 laws could be in place that would bar tigers, camels, zebras and snakes from being used as performing animals in circuses.

The animal welfare minister said:

"There is no place in today's society for wild animals being used for our entertainment in traveling circuses. Wild animals deserve our respect."

Growing support from animal advocate groups, circus-goers and law makers have really pushed this campaign forwards.

Especially after undercover video leaked of a circus elephant being beaten by a worker.

Because it may take some time for a ban to take effect the government has imposed

Ha!

That's so funny.

It really looks like this zebra just walks up and screams at them!

Check out the above video but lower your volume a little bit if you're wearing headphones.

In Virginia, two zebras escaped a local petting zoo.

They ended up wandering right into suburban neighborhood.

When a woman looked out her window and saw two zebras walking down the street, she called the police.

Check out the above video to hear more details from an eye witness.

Two zebras who escaped from a Boston Zoo have made it safely back to their enclosure.

The zebras were uninjured and they didn't cause any human injuries either.

Apparently the baby broke through the exhibit's electrical fence and, being a good mommy, the other zebra followed.

The baby returned to it's pen about 40 minutes later. Then it's mother was led back a little later.

What's funny is this was the baby's first day in the exhibit. Gotta learn your boundaries, baby!
