Do you know where they went? I'm guessing they will move into a non-breeding situation, and Hamilton will get a new male (ideally from Australia).

I won’t post too much on their history as I’m still planning to make a thread on the history of New Zealand’s zebra; but to help out with what I can regarding the current population/what will help you with your Australasian zebra population list:
Maria, Mimi and Miribai are deceased. Miribai (2002) appears to have died young as her last foal was born 2013. She was replaced by Zalika (2011) - with she and Marble (2003) producing all foals from 2014 onwards.
Imka (2018) was transferred to Auckland Zoo, where she lives in their all female herd.
Lindiwe (2009) was a female (not a male). She and Nyah (2008) died at Auckland Zoo.
Hamilton’s main herd consists of:
1.0 Malawi (2012)
0.1 Marble (2003)
0.1 Zalika (2011)
0.1 Pebbles (2021) Marble
0.1 Wednesday (2021) Zalika
1.0 Unnamed (2022) Marble
They have two colts living in a bachelor pair:
1.0 Okavango (2019)
1.0 Zambia (2019)
