Today is very special. Not only is it our January Birthday Bash, but it's also International Zebra Day! It couldn't be more perfect that we are celebrating our male Hartmann’s mountain zebra, Gibbs, on his big 19th birthday. 🦓

Did you know Hartmann's mountain zebras are a vulnerable species native to southwest Africa? We are proud to care for Gibbs and our entire herd here at the Louisville Zoo. Join us in celebrating all of our zebras today, and don't forget to give a special birthday shoutout to Gibbs. 🎉
