newborn Onager foal Chester Zoo 11 July 1981

Female Onager (Equus hemionus onager) and newborn foal.
Bongorob, this is a very good capture. I'd be interested to know where in the zoo this was taken-was in the current asian steppes enclosure?

@fofo this photo was taken in 1981 and I believe the numbers have changed now, however persian ongar are still in the collection.

This picture was taken in what is now the sand paddock for the Scimitar-horned Oryx.As for the numbers that Chester currently holds its either 1.5 or 1.6,for the moment my mind is a blank as to which it is!
 
Zoogiraffe is correct with the location. On my last visit Chester had 1.5 onager.

Onager and Kulan were originally kept in the Cattle House.
