Scope and content

Species include: Grant's Zebra, Grevy's Zebra.
1 BW photo of Daisy and her foal has this label on the back: "The first baby for Daisy the 8-year-old Grevy's Zebra at Chester Zoo. She started her journey from Africa way back in 1964. In the English Channel she was diverted to Copenhagen because of the outbreak of horse sickness in England and therefore not allowed to disembark. Spent two and a half years in quarantine in Copenhagen. Spent another one-and-a-half years in quarantine in England before arriving for show at Chester Zoo. So Daisy is now nicely settled down in 1969 with her 4-day-old baby son."
