Help us wish Promise a very happy 11th birthday!

This birthday is extra special as she celebrates another year with a little one by her side. We couldn’t be happier to watch her grow into her girl mom role and spend this special milestone with her little one by her side.

Make plans to visit the Zoo and stop by the zebra habitat to see this wonderful mom and her adorable youngster for yourself! It’s the perfect time to come say hello, celebrate her birthday, and enjoy a little zebra family time.

Come see them while you can—you won’t want to miss this special pair!
