A baby zebra at an Arizona zoo died Tuesday after she suffered a neck injury less than two months after her birth.
The zebra, named Tikiti Maji, was in her habitat at Tucson's Reid Park Zoo on Tuesday when a gust of wind appeared to startle her mother, Anna, according to the zoo. Anna abruptly moved, but stopped short of a fence. Tikiti Maji, who had been running alongside her mother, did not stop and hit the fence. She died instantly due to the neck injury.
"My heart goes out to Anna, who was an attentive and watchful mother to Tikiti, as well as to the Zoo's animal care professionals who give their all each day to ensure that every animal at Reid Park Zoo receives quality, loving, and uninterrupted care," Reid Park Zoo President and CEO Nancy Kluge said in a statement. "We are absolutely heartbroken by the loss."
