After nearly six years at Sedgwick County Zoo, Grevy's zebras Honey and Louise will be moving to another AZA-accredited zoo later this month. 🦓
Before they begin their next chapter, we invite you to stop by and wish them farewell!
Honey and Louise arrived from Zoo Miami on Halloween weekend in 2020, where they were born just three days apart. While they may look nearly identical, their unique facial markings can help you tell them apart. Honey has a more symmetrical, M-shaped brown marking above her nostrils, while Louise's marking extends higher and thinner on the left side.
Their upcoming move follows a breeding recommendation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan, which helps maintain healthy, genetically diverse populations of animals in human care.
🌍 Why does this matter? Grevy's zebras are the most endangered of the three zebra species, with an estimated 3,000 remaining in the wild. Moves like this play an important role in supporting the species' long-term conservation.
Although we will no longer be home to Grevy's zebras, our commitment to their conservation continues through our partnership with the Grevy's Zebra Trust.
While we'll certainly miss Honey and Louise, we have plans to welcome a new mammal species to this multispecies habitat, which is also home to blue cranes and marabou storks.
Be sure to visit Honey and Louise before they leave later this month! We'd love to hear your favorite memories of these two. 🖤🤍
Stay tuned for more details about who will be moving in next!
