I didn't know the names of Henry Vilas Zoo's individuals until now. Thanks for that information.
Do you think the ladies will have a male brought to them at the zoo for breeding?
As of right now, no plans to breed them.
I think they might be over represented. But I’m not positive.I didn't know the names of Henry Vilas Zoo's individuals until now. Thanks for that information.

Could Arual and Stella be the same Somali Wild ass at Zoo Miami. Stella would’ve been 12 then, and she would have had to be there for at least a year for her pregnancy since she just gave birth?

Arual and Stella are the same individual. Yaa and Zakia are also the same individual (a year younger than Stella).
Micanopy has Xote and Benny, both born at Zoo Miami.
