New baby zebra soon?

We're getting ready for more stripes.  Our pair of Zebras Timone and Pumba are expecting their we believe 8th baby, we have kind of lost count over the years.  we wait quite a while for the babies as  gestation lasts from 358-438 days with an average of 409.  Baby zebras weight 66-77 lbs.  and are about 33 inches in height.  They have some brown stripes at birth.  This long wait gives them ample development time so they are ready to move and can stand within minutes of birth and run short distances within an hour. 

Hopefully we will have a new baby by the end of July here at www.malibufamilywines.com
