A baby zebra is believed to have died after she was frightened by fireworks at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in Bristol, United Kingdom.
The baby zebra named as Little Hope was born in March 2020, and was just 9 months-old.
The zoo said loud explosion from several fireworks displays nearby may have frightened her, causing Little Hope to smash into the wall.
We’re feeling devastated by the loss of our young zebra Hope. She was so full of energy and life and she was a very healthy young zebra.
said Larry Bush, Managing Director of the Zoo
The zoo hopes her death can help raise awareness for the impact fireworks celebrations can have huge impact on animals.
