There's another four legged cutie walking around the Monarto Zoo!

Zebras mate year round and after a year of gestation, a zebra foal was born on October 1.

It marks the third successful birth between mama Kenya and daddy Zambezi and also continues the string of births for the zoo as a whole.

The calf was born "on exhibit" meaning visitors got to watch the babe being born.

Talk about a surprise when you go to the zoo!

So Sad.

About 115 elephant tusks were found by sniffer dogs inside metal containers bound for an address in Nigeria.

It was the largest seizure in recent months, police said. Last year, two tonnes of ivory and five rhino horns were found at Nairobi's airport.

Officials believe Kenya has become a transit point for international ivory smuggling, largely to Asia.

"We are suspecting they could be from here or neighbouring countries and we are on their toes. We must get them,"

Eunice Kiheko, deputy police chief at the airport, told the Associated Press.

"They have killed many, many elephants and we cannot allow this."
