I was lucky enough to witness the birth of a live Grevy's Zebra (Equus grevyi) foal in the wild in 2009. Grevy's zebra is endangered, with only abou 2500 individuals remaining in the wild. The birth is described and discussed in a scientific paper published in the journal Ethology. The paper is available at www.blaircostelloe.com/Research. To my knowledge, this is the only documented observation of a wild Grevy's zebra birth to date.
