Caught on camera at Paignton Zoo

Caught on camera at Paignton Zoo

Caught on camera this summer at Paignton Zoo…

First, what’s black and white and red all over? A zebra that lives on the beautiful red sandstone soils of South Devon. Male Hartmann’s mountain zebra Urias rolls on his back and waves his red-tinged hooves in the air at Paignton Zoo Environmental Park.

The species is classed as Vulnerable; there is a European Endangered species Programme (EEP) as well as co-operative management of zoo populations world-wide.

Meanwhile, the Zoo’s Asiatic lions were playing a slightly more painful game, with young female Maliya trying to bite the tail of male Lucifer. Let’s hope he likes his partners feisty…
