A Lagos resort, Omu Resort has received two zebras, thus increases the numbers of animals in the zoo section of the resort.
With the arrival of the zebras, Omu Resort, located at Ibeju Lekki, Lagos, officially becomes one of only a small number of zoos in Africa to have zebras grace their facilities, the Vanguard reported.
Moji Ibhaze, General Manager of Omu Resort said: “Omu Resort has always been first.
“It is a big achievement for us and we are happy to have the zebras as an addition to the other animals we have in our zoo.
“We are trying to promote conservation and captive breeding. We are thus extremely proud of this landmark recorded.”
Furthermore, Ibhaze said the resort is proud to be pioneering a sea world, adding that a visit would avail visitors a collection of fishes peculiar to Nigerian waters.
“Our fishes are kept in wall aquariums and they are all indigenous to Nigerian waters, none is imported.”
Ibhaze reiterated the resort’s commitment to wildlife, adding that the resort intends to bring in more animals especially endangered ones.
