Life on Florida’s West Coast

Baby Zebra in Tampa

We were just at Busch Gardens in Tampa Monday for New Year’s Eve. Also, it was the last day to use our Fun Pass and we were trying to make the most of things. Somehow, we completely overlooked the fact that a new baby zebra was born at the park on December 27. But then, we did not take the Serengeti Express Train to see the animals this time. We try and vary our park experiences each time we go.

The baby is a male Grevy’s zebra and he lives on the park’s Serengeti Plain. The Grevy’s zebra is distinguished by its large ears and more numerous and narrower black stripes.

Busch Gardens Africa is located in Tampa. Since it’s so close, we buy the seasonal Fun Pass and use it as many times in the course of the year as possible. Florida residents can buy a full-priced one-day ticket any time throughout the year and then continue to use the same ticket for the remainder of the calendar year. It makes me miss Busch Gardens Europe in Williamsburg, VA. We went there a LOT when I was a kid.

No news yet on the new zebra’s name.
