Baby zebra born at Frank Buck Zoo

The Frank Buck Zoo has a new - striped - member of the family.

A Zebra at the zoo gave birth to a baby colt. The Colt is three weeks old.

The zoo says it's the forth zebra born at their facility.

Susan Kleven, zoo director, said they work with other zoos to breed and trade animals.

"He'll probably stay here for a while," she said. "And then eventually he'll probably move on to another facility since we already have two male zebra."

The zoo is taking suggestions on its Facebook page for a name. The only requirement is it has to start with a "Z."
