Disney's Animal Kingdom is celebrating the birth of two female Grevy's zebra foals.

The first foal was born April 26 to Layee, and the second was born May 1 to Zuri. Currently, the foals are nursing and bonding with their moms backstage. All will join the herd on Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail overlook soon.

Maybe they'll stay with a Roman Emporer theme and go with Marcus Aurelius and Tiberius

So if they give them all an earring, is it considered be-dazzled? :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

This is the best news! I can't wait to find out what they will name the new babes, and hope they will be out by my Dec. trip. We were already excited about the new hippo and tigers, and now this! Baby animals are all over the place! I just love Disney animal news.

But is it pronounced "zee-bra" or "zeh-bra" ?

When I first saw this, I figured it was written by a lion -- I saw "Two Gravys Zebras..."

That's how I read @wdwmagic 's headline.

Ok, so I'm a little confused. Are both of the foals female?

So cute. I love seeing the baby animals at AKL, the little giraffes and zebras especially.

A herd of zebras is called a dazzle! *Learned on Kilimanjaro Safari
