Zebra foals Asante (L) and Zuri (R) explore their new home at the St. Louis Zoo. Both foals were born last winter, and are venturing outside for the first time now that it's warmer.

Mother Tiombe keeps a close eye on daughter Zuri. Three-month-old Zuri and her half-brother Asante are now venturing outside in the warm weather.

Little Zuri sticks close to her mother as she explores the zebra's outdoor area.
Spring marks a lot of firsts in the city of St. Louis - the first pitch, the first Ted Drewes concrete, the first of the daffodils along area highways.
There's a special "first" this year for visitors to the St. Louis Zoo - a chance to see two new Grevy's zebra foals as they venture outside for the first time after their births.
Asante was born in November, and his half-sister Zuri arrived in January. Now that the weather has warmed up, Zuri and Asante are outside with the rest of the herd.
Click on the picture above to see the new little guys at their home in Red Rocks. They'll be out on most warm days.
