'beautiful' name for grevy's zebra

The winning name for a very important and rare Grevy’s zebra is........Zuri.

Zuri, meaning ‘beautiful’ in Swahili, a language spoken in Kenya, was a clear favourite with voters and received a 56 per cent majority in the competition.

Zuri lives in the Samburu region of Kenya with her mum Kalama. Her birth is significant because there are only around 2500 Grevy’s zebra left in the wild, making them one of the most endangered equids.
