Foals live with their mothers in herds and their main defense in the wild is their ability to run from predators. #PersianOnager #NotaDonkey #NotaHorse #WeSaveSpecies | Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute | Facebook

❤️🐴 On the heels of celebrating our Hartmann’s mountain zebra Yipes’ first birthday, the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s ungulate team happily welcomed another new addition. During their morning rounds July 21, they discovered our expectant Persian onager—a 10-year-old female named Sayeh—had given birth overnight to a female foal! ✏️STORY: https://s.si.edu/3BO2IyT. | Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute
