Saskatoon zebras arrive at Forestry Farm Park and Zoo | 24CA News
Just a little extra horsing round will happen on the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo after the zoo took in 5 zebras earlier this week.
“The zoo was contacted by provincial officials regarding a herd of zebra that needed different accommodations,” mentioned Jeff Mitchell, zoo supervisor.
“As the only CAZA (Canada’s Accredited Zoos and Aquariums) facility in Saskatchewan, we knew we had the space, skills and expertise to create a safe environment for these animals.”
The zebras are taking on one of many three caribou habitats which have a heated and insulated barn with a big out of doors yard and pond.
“We will keep a close eye on the herd as it adapts to its new home.”
“Our primary concern is the comfort, health, safety and well-being of these amazing animals. We expect the zebras will keep close to the barn for the next several weeks and will eventually explore the greater areas of their new habitat,” Mitchell added.
