So, how old?- boy or girl?  Does male or female matter is taking care of a zebra?  Is one of the sexes more aggressive than the other etc?

Best looking zebra I've seen in months

Man, nothing makes a Monday like a guy getting a new zebra.

It's a year old male.

You would think I would have googled zebras by now, but I haven't...

You said you ordered a 1 year old male, but were receiving a 2 year old filly instead.  A 2 year old female zebra IS called a filly, no?

Fun fact 2:

A zebra can take a bite out of your flesh like it's a stick of butter.

Is this worse than a moose bite?  Asking for my sister.

The health paperwork was wrong and I had to track the owner down to make it right.  It is a 1 year old stud colt.

I got the more dangerous of the two....but I can breed female donkeys with it, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

Late start this morning. But I'll film another update or two in about a half hour.

In the meantime, do yourself a favor and look up zebra calls on youtube....very challenging noise to duplicate! Lol.

How many animals do you have??

How many animals do you have??

They're all owned by our family's rodeo company.

80 horses

100 cows

200 bulls

2 donkeys

1 zebra

Approximately, sometimes those numbers double.

 

[Joe Summer]

You should name it Z-bro.

Curious, is there an end game for the Zebra here other than "I want on"? Putting a saddle on him? Taking him to kids parties? Teaching him how to two step?

Don't be icing Z-bro with a Zima.

 

[MTskibum]

I think you should get a breading pair of zebras and raise them for their meat.

It seems pretty lucrative. The best way to go may be to start an exotic meats jerky company.

If within a year I can pet it and brush it without being in fear for my life, I'll consider myself a winner.

I don't think it will ever be safe enough to have around children.  If I could break it to lead I would think I could get him some kind of movie or TV acting role.

When he gets mad he sounds like a combination of a hyena and a dolphin.  Haven't been able to catch it on camera yet.

Sounds like a great addition   

I'm zebra challenged, other than seeing them at the zoo didn't know if there was a secondary market for them in the rodeo or birthday party circuit. Good to know.

You should get him an emotional support animal to calm him down.  I would suggest a wallaby.

Haven’t read the thread to see if this was mentioned, but somebody had a pair of wallabies in a private zoo on Oahu a century ago. Anyway, they escaped, and there is a colony of ~100 living in the mountains near Honolulu to this day.

Were the original 2 male and female?

After 1 year

Llama's are way too common.  I'd definitely be in the market for a wildebeast.

If I could find a giraffe for under 15k, I'd buy one of those too.

Yeah, but can a you use the zebra as an assault weapon holder?

Wallaroo?  Brilliant!

 

[Angry Beavers]

so... how is the zebra training going? 

 

[UOFI_316]

Showed my kids the clip of the Wallaroo, and now I don't need to worry about them constantly asking to get a dog...
