BIOPARC keepers save baby zebra from drowning
The zoo workers had been monitoring the birth as mother zebra LaNina while she was in labour and were on hand to help.
The newborn staggered towards the river after the cord was bitten off by its mother.
Zebra foals normally start trying to stand and move around within seconds of being born and having their umbilical cords cut.
The zebra foal became completely submerged and staff had to go in, up to their chests, to stop the baby from drowning as the panicked mother looked on.
