"Nina" may be a miniature burro, but she made a huge entrance on her birth day at the Saint Louis Zoo's Emerson Children's Zoo. "Miss Barney" gave birth to the little foal on Tuesday morning, October 4, in front of on-looking visitors, Zoo staff and volunteers.
Nina weighs 31 pounds and stands 23 inches tall, and she can be seen with her mother and "Aunt Patches" at the Children's Zoo. Miss Barney and Patches came to the Saint Louis Zoo this summer.
Ancestors of the mini burro, or miniature donkey, come from the island of Sicily near the Mediterranean Sea.
