A baby zebra is called a foal. Just like many other hoofed animals, zebras give birth to foals that are able to stand and run shortly after birth, which is crucial for their survival in the wild. Foals are typically born with a brown and white stripes pattern which gradually darkens into the black and white stripes that adult zebras are known for. This unique striping not only serves as a form of camouflage but also helps in social interactions within the herd.
