The ownership status of five zebras, once a grey area, has been confirmed so it’s now a matter of black and white.
Zebras were seized in Saskatchewan by conservation officers and were under the ownership of the government of Saskatchewan after an investigation.
They were being kept at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm and Zoo, but now that ownership has been transferred to the zoo as of March 31.

This news comes as warmer weather starts to hit Saskatchewan, with the zoo saying the zebras will be spending more time in the outdoor habitat as things warm up.
The zoo said zebras can handle cold temperatures down to about -5 C but will spend more time indoors whenever temperatures drop.
