Get to know the zebras

Qwara lives with a male, Monty, and two females, Spoutnik and Serdtse. Qwara is the most independent, quite shy and rarely comes into contact with the keepers. She is the only breeding female. She is often found with Serdtse: the two females bite each other on the neck and often play together.
