Damara Zebra. I think they're coming from Holland.
Someone (a zoochatter I suspect) asked this question on the facebook page, and the reply was "black and white ones". Well if they are Damara then they are more brown and cream actually. Typing this makes me feel like a right zoo nerd.

Haha that was our fabulous marketing manager
Maybe that's why I don't use Facebook..
If they are Damara its an interesting choice as it will be only the 3rd group in UK (others being Colchester and Tenby).

I know for sure that Black Isle`s listing is correct,I`m not so sure about Drayton Manor or Knowsley.
I'm pretty sure there were no Zebras at all at Drayton Manor when I visited a few weeks back.

They used to be over by the Reindeer and Ostrich.
Racking my brains, but can't remember them -I now see the point of making notes
.Can anyone out there say for sure and confirm the state of my memory?

I'm with you here - I don't ever remember seeing zebras at Drayton Manor.
I think the Knowsley listing is a mistake and should be under former holders - the notes refer to the Earl of Derby's 19th century menagerie (not really sure why the two collections are combined on zootierliste - there was 120 years between the sale of the menagerie and the opening of the safari park!)

Thanks for that you have confirmed what I thought that it was a couple of Glitches on Zootierlist,I do remember seeing Zebra at Drayton Manor but that would be back in the early 1980`s.
I didn't know about theirs- they don't seem to have a completed website. Are they genuine Damaras? Did they come from the Blackpool group when they moved?
Knowsley say they don't have Zebras anymore. Maybe the Damaras were in the old Lord Derby's collection.

Black Isle are from Blackpools stock at the last count they had the breeding pair and 3 young which were 2.1 so in total they had 3.2.
I counted six there last year. I think there's a photo in the gallery I took.
They were split into two groups of three.
