Zebra died after rhino punctured stomach - Colchester Zoo
This happened on Friday around 2 PM. Visitors were asked to make their way to the zoo exit not long afterwards.
From the article
More details have been released by the zoo about the incident on Friday, which occurred in its mixed species African habitat.
Two rhinos – Astrid and her son Tayo – were sparring with one another, described by the zoo as "regular and natural behaviour" for the species.
Astrid attempted to move Ziggy the zebra out of the way, but in doing so Ziggy was injured and died a few minutes later.
How sad is this? Poor Ziggy.
