Disney has shared a first look at Asha, a Hartmann's Mountain Zebra Foal, as she ventured out onto the Kilimanjaro Safaris savanna for the very first time.

Born almost a month ago at Disney's Animal Kingdom, Asha's name means “hope” in Sanskrit, and “life” in Swahili, and it was voted for by Walt Disney World Cast Members.

Who knew we had a porcupine emoticon?!?!? Sure I have never seen a baby one.....they look a little less prickly....;) Guess those CM's are well employed....:)

That baby porcupette would make an adorable plush toy. Disney take note.

A much needed piece of good news amongst all of the chaos in the world. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/03/babynews-disneys-animal-kingdom-welcomes-zebra-foal/?CMP=SOC-DPFY20Q2wo0319200325200011C DPB blog says that this is the 3rd zebra foal to be born at AK this year, but I believe that it’s actually the 2nd. It’s also the 2nd Hartmann’s Zebra (1st female) to ever be born at AK. (The 1st was born back in January) Anyways, the little lady, who has yet to be named, and her mother, Heidi, seem to be doing great! Another historic birth for AK!

I'd like to propose naming both ends of the new addition... They could name the front end "Stripey"... ...and the back end "Bob."

They're just a lot of donkeys in football jerseys.
