Sheldrick Wildlife Trust: Website | Facebook | Instagram My Modern Met granted permission to feature photos by Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.Our fine art prints feature real live animals, photographed by renowned photographer Sharon Montrose who has been capturing the beauty and charm of animals since 2004. His caretakers wear special jackets so that he can “imprint” correctly and eventually return to the wild. He was rescued by a herdsman and eventually taken to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. When he is older, it is hoped that Diria can return to his birthright: the wild, and reintegrate into the wild herds of zebras that live on the doorstep of the Reintegration Unit.” A young zebra named Diria was orphaned when his mother was killed by lions. “Keepers offer regular milk feeds and, at night, Diria sleeps in a stable so that he remains safe from predators. Diria is affectionate with his caregivers, and he is said to “love nothing more than nuzzling into them”-with the exception of feeding time. “Through the use of our specially made coat, a group of Keepers can offer this specialist care, walking with him in the protected area in the immediate vicinity of our Reintegration Unit so that he can learn about his wild environment,” Brandford says. A team of caregivers can give Diria the specialist 24/7 care he needs to give him the very best chance of survival.” “Therefore, to avoid this fragile new-born imprinting on one person, our Keepers don a specially made striped coat that Diria will recognize as his ‘mum,’ regardless of who is wearing it. “In the wild, calves will be raised by their mother alone but at our Reintegration Unit, it isn’t practical for a single individual to hand-raise Diria should they go on annual leave,” Brandford remarks. Without Diria’s mother, it's left to the workers to properly raise the foal. Once the calf can identify its mother, the duo will return to the herd.”

“To learn its mother’s stripes, a mother zebra will often separate herself and her baby from the herd so that the baby can imprint-essentially recognize and follow her coat, smell, and call. “Baby zebras need to be able to recognize their mother from birth to survive,” Rob Brandford, Executive Director of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, explains to My Modern Met. After Diria’s arrival, the Trust got to work taking care of him as a mother figure would.
