Zebra Training ~ San Diego Zoo

Happened to be at the San Diego Zoo to check out the new baby Panda - got pleasantly distracted by their trained Zebra, Zahari, going through her daily workout with her friend, San Diego Zoo Keeper, Tom Sica. She looked like she wanted to do whatever he asked - although once in awhile she would get distracted by her jealous donkey playmate, Sophia Loren, who liked to snip at her on occasion (had to be put on timeout once by Tom :) Zahari (Tom called her "Zari") is a Grants' Zebra, four years old, and her exhibit is adjacent to the giraffe exhibit at San Diego Zoo. Tom says that she is now a star with their "Backstage Pass" program. Having watched the Zebra herd at Hearst Castle, San Simeon, CA, many many times, I must admit that I never expected to see a trained Zebra right here at the San Diego Zoo. Truly fascinating interaction between humans and animals. Tom, has a way with Zahari; soft voice, minimal hand gestures, rewards for positive behavior, patience, love - and Zahari knew exactly what he wanted :) Worth the time to check out Zahari and Tom:) Thanks for the show:)
