TWO endangered zebras who started life at West Midlands Safari Park in Bewdley have moved into a brand new enclosure at their current home in Fife.

Zebras Marty and Jess were the first exotic animals to arrive at Fife zoo in 2017 as part of a European wide conservation programme, aiming to maintain a captive population of this endangered species.

The two zebras made the 350 mile journey from West Midland Safari Park to make Fife Zoo their home with another pair of zebra, Allingham and Archie arriving from Edinburgh Zoo in 2018.

The zoo has completed their new Grevy’s Zebra enclosure at their site in Ladybank, Cupar as the first part of a ten-year master plan which will also see Red Panda and Otters added to the zoo.

The new expansion plans, which were completed earlier this year, has seen the size of the zebra enclosure at Fife Zoo increase by over 50 per cent.

Fife Zoo’s Director Mike Knight said: "The zebra expansion offers new viewing points allowing our guests to get their best ever view of the existing and new zebra paddocks.

"We’re also hosting daily talks with our zoo keepers which will allow our customers to discover more about our four zebra and their wild counterparts in Kenya and Ethiopia."
