Oberon, a Grevy’s zebra stallion, has arrived at Edinburgh Zoo from Chessington World of Adventures’ zoo as part of the breeding programme for the endangered species. Keepers at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) are hopeful he will mate with the zoo’s resident females Azizi and Grace before he returns to Chessington at the end of the year.  

The wildlife conservation charity is now home to four zebras, Oberon, Azizi, Grace and Daniella. Visitors can spot the new arrival along with the rest of the herd in their hilltop habitat at Edinburgh Zoo.
