Zoo officials said the latest foal was up and walking in less than 15 minutes.

The male foal has not been named. The female foal was named Jasira by zookeepers, which means, “bold and brave,” zoo officials said in a news release.

“Jasira’s name tracks with her personality and behavior,” Kristen Moore, director of animal care at Hattiesburg Zoo, said in the release. “Jasira is wide open on the Veldt, and seemingly has no fear.”
