CREATURE FEATURE: ZIGGY

One of the first zoo animals to arrive at Folly Farm was Mitzi a mature female Zebra who soon after settling in gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Ziggy.  The keepers have watched Ziggy grow up and become a mother herself to a boy, Dakari Middleton, who was born a week before the Royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in May 2011.
