00:33:43,604 birthday and we made some really fun enrichment for her 664 00:33:43,688 --> 00:33:45,732 and her family. 665 00:33:45,815 --> 00:33:48,317 When Grace was first born, she wasn't hitting all of her 666 00:33:48,401 --> 00:33:51,821 milestones that we would normally see, so we decided to 667 00:33:51,904 --> 00:33:55,116 start doing some therapy exercises with her. 668 00:33:55,199 -->

00:35:57,488 Hartmann's Mountain zebra babies are always an exciting 703 00:35:57,572 --> 00:36:00,783 event for us. 704 00:36:01,284 --> 00:36:05,705 They are a species of concern in the wild. 705

00:36:29,312 Trooper is looking a little off to us. 709 00:36:29,395 --> 00:36:32,190 When he finishes nursing, we're seeing some milk 710 00:36:32,273 --> 00:36:34,567 coming out of his nose. 711 00:36:34,650 --> 00:36:36,694 He's coughing a little bit. 712 00:36:36,777 --> 00:36:39,655 Hey, mum, we're sorry, but he needs to get better. 713 00:36:39,739 --> 00:36:42,366 Shut it, he's not feeling well. 714 00:36:47,663 --> 00:36:50,208 We don't know exactly what's causing it, but it could 715 00:36:50,291 --> 00:36:52,835 contribute to conditions such as pneumonia and could 716 00:36:52,919 --> 00:36:55,838 potentially be life threatening. 717 00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:02,595 We are gonna be transporting Trooper up to work with our partners 718 00:37:02,678 --> 00:37:05,681 at

CAITLIN: It's a big deal for Mylo, because this will be the 724 00:37:27,370 --> 00:37:29,580 first time that he's meeting his dad, Dugan, without any 725 00:37:29,664 --> 00:37:31,707 barriers between them. 726 00:37:31,791 --> 00:37:34,627 We're very excited to see how he interacts with Mylo and if 727 00:37:34,710 --> 00:37:37,421 he behaves appropriately. 728 00:37:37,505 -->

00:37:53,604 investigating something. 735 00:37:53,688 --> 00:37:56,524 Oh, here comes Helen. 736 00:38:00,861 --> 00:38:04,573 Oh, he's very spicy this morning, very spicy. 737 00:38:04,657 --> 00:38:06,826 Which just means he's like, overly confident and 738 00:38:06,909 --> 00:38:08,494 is looking for trouble. 739 00:38:08,577 --> 00:38:09,996 (laughs) 740 00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:12,456 It's pretty normal for him and her, she always handles it 741 00:38:12,540 --> 00:38:14,750 really well and is super calm. 742 00:38:14,834 --> 00:38:17,211 We will have to watch for this when Dugan comes out and see 743 00:38:17,295 --> 00:38:18,963 how Dugan reacts to this. 744 00:38:19,046 --> 00:38:21,507 He's very strong, he's very big and sometimes animals like 745 00:38:21,590 --> 00:38:24,135 that don't know their own strength. 746 00:38:25,428 --> 00:38:28,014 His horn is continuing to grow, which we expected. 747 00:38:28,097 --> 00:38:31,225 Mylo's doing really great, honestly. 748 00:38:32,935 --> 00:38:34,312 Alright, Mel, what are we thinking? 749 00:38:34,395 --> 00:38:36,647 Are you ready for the big guy? 750 00:38:36,981 --> 00:38:39,275 MEL: 10-4.

00:38:53,164 The size difference is pretty substantial, so it's very easy 754 00:38:53,247 --> 00:38:56,792 for maybe Mylo to get pushed a little too hard and for 755 00:38:56,876 --> 00:38:59,378 something to potentially go wrong. 756 00:39:00,129 --> 00:39:02,631 Dugan's coming. 757 00:39:05,968 --> 00:39:08,971 Yeah, coming in hot. 758 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,184 Very excited. 759

00:39:31,660 --> 00:39:33,621 (grunting) 763 00:39:34,747 --> 00:39:41,420 ♪ ♪ 764 00:39:45,174 --> 00:39:48,302 I don't know why mom would be triggered. 765 00:39:48,386 --> 00:39:51,555 She could just be setting some boundaries with him. 766 00:40:01,982 --> 00:40:05,736 The excitement of Jao getting hyped up like that drew Mylo over. 767 00:40:11,033 --> 00:40:15,121 So this is the first like adult male he's meeting. 768 00:40:17,123 --> 00:40:19,959 Dugan is so great and so calm. 769 00:40:20,292 --> 00:40:23,921 Mylo will learn from Dugan about how to spar. 770 00:40:24,755 --> 00:40:27,633 Jao's standing there, like, "I don't know about this." 771 00:40:27,716 --> 00:40:30,845 She's keeping an eye on things. 772 00:40:33,472 --> 00:40:36,559 Jao's got a mouthful of hay, she just needs to supervise, 773 00:40:36,642 --> 00:40:38,436 but also wants to feed herself. 774 00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:41,564 Multi-tasking, the way every mom does. 775 00:40:45,734 --> 00:40:47,945 The fact that Dugan is allowing Mylo to approach his neck 776 00:40:48,028 --> 00:40:51,740 and get sideways like that is really kind of special. 777 00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:57,288 It's really cool when you see adults playing with kids like 778 00:40:57,371 --> 00:41:00,791 this, they will essentially pull their punches. 779 00:41:00,875 --> 00:41:02,710 He's letting Mylo back him down. 780 00:41:02,793 --> 00:41:05,629 There's no way Mylo physically is actually pushing him back. 781 00:41:06,213 --> 00:41:09,967 I have strong suspicions, once Jao realizes that Dugan will babysit, 782 00:41:10,050 --> 00:41:12,386 she's gonna enjoy the scenario, because she's get to kind of 783 00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:15,890 just eat or nap while Mylo's bothering somebody else. 784 00:41:17,016 --> 00:41:20,603 It's always exceptionally cute when you have this very small 785 00:41:20,686 --> 00:41:24,356 rhino with this very large rhino interacting. 786 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,320 White rhinos are the most social species of rhinos. 787 00:41:29,403 --> 00:41:31,780 So it's really, really important that Mylo learns 788 00:41:31,864 --> 00:41:34,950 how to interact with other males, with bulls. 789 00:41:35,242 --> 00:41:37,912 It's very early, he's very young, but many years from now, 790 00:41:37,995 --> 00:41:40,206 he will start his own family with another herd of 791 00:41:40,289 --> 00:41:43,167 females and hopefully, one day will have lots of babies and 792 00:41:43,250 --> 00:41:46,420 he'll be a great dad, just like Dugan. 793 00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:49,298 Oh, that's cute.

00:41:56,889 --> 00:41:59,225 And it will allow for Mylo and Dugan to kind of build a 798 00:41:59,308 --> 00:42:00,809 stronger relationship. 799 00:42:00,893 --> 00:42:04,021 And they seem to truly enjoy each other. 800 00:42:06,482 --> 00:42:09,068 Oh, Mylo's laying down, huh. 801 00:42:09,151 --> 00:42:12,279 Nap time. 802 00:42:12,363 --> 00:42:15,616 Oh, that's a real comfortable baby rhino. 803 00:42:24,124 --> 00:42:27,294 NARRATOR: After a week in the hospital, baby zebra, Trooper, 804 00:42:27,378 --> 00:42:30,172 returns to the park. 805 00:42:31,715 --> 00:42:33,634 DR DEIDRE: So Trooper's diagnosis is what they called 806 00:42:33,717 --> 00:42:35,135 dummy foal syndrome. 807 00:42:35,219 --> 00:42:37,513 And what that means is, he just didn't have the 808 00:42:37,596 --> 00:42:40,766 competency to be able to swallow properly, but he is 809 00:42:40,849 --> 00:42:43,435 gonna have a great prognosis long term. 810 00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:47,398 NARRATOR: Now he waits to reunite with mom, Heidi. 811 00:42:50,526 --> 00:42:52,319 DR DEIDRE: Trooper has been at a university surrounded by 812 00:42:52,403 --> 00:42:54,780 humans that have been taking care of him for the last week 813 00:42:54,863 --> 00:42:58,951 and so, we want him to realize that he's a zebra again. 814 00:43:00,953 --> 00:43:03,497 Our major concern today is that they won't recognize each 815 00:43:03,581 --> 00:43:06,125 other again and if that happens, we would have to 816 00:43:06,208 --> 00:43:09,670 manage them separately, which is not an ideal scenario. 817 00:43:23,350 --> 00:43:27,479 Heidi is an experienced mom and she's doing all the right things. 818 00:43:29,106 --> 00:43:33,777 Trooper is starting to nurse, standing under Heidi. 819 00:43:33,861 --> 00:43:36,322 We're just watching to make sure that he is going to 820 00:43:36,405 --> 00:43:38,866 swallow okay. 821 00:43:44,580 --> 00:43:48,208 Heidi and Trooper's introduction couldn't have gone better. 822 00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:50,878 Heidi's maternal instincts kicked in immediately and 823 00:43:50,961 --> 00:43:53,213 they've already started bonding. 824 00:43:53,297 --> 00:43:56,008 We are super excited about what the next few days 825 00:43:56,091 --> 00:43:57,801 are gonna bring. 826 00:43:58,802 --> 00:44:00,304 Captioned by Cotter Media Group.
