North American AZA Grevy Zebra population

[Zoo adventures]

I created this population list for the Grevy Zebra. This population list records all births, deaths, and transfers of all Grevy zebra kept in AZA facilities in North America. I will post an updated list each year in this same thread. The total population of NA consists of 35.102.2 individuals, with 2 holders in Canada and 30 holders in the United States of America. The Canadian population is 5.4 individuals. The USA population is 30.98.2 individuals. These numbers are approximate. It is organized by country and by alphabetical order.

Another excellent list, you're on a roll @Zoo adventures!

This is Zebra is the Zebra you most likely see in Zoos nowadays.

That distinction still goes to the Plains Zebra, though Grevy's is quite prominent as well.

[The Horse Boy]

I feel the Grevy's Zebra population in NA zoos is pretty much ramping up with all the recent births over the years. Reid Park and Caldwell with their births this year are the best examples

 

[Austin the Sengi]

While neither facility publicly mentioned this transfer, I should mention that (0.1) Zafira of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park now calls Disney’s Animal Kingdom her home*.

At the moment, she is paired up with (1.0) Ziggy, with plans of being introduced to DAK’s other females (Tuli + Violet) being unknown at this point in time.
