Is it dead?

@orhanlyn As we've noted with other comments, this is a common concern from our viewers of this video as you may see as you read through the other comments. The calf is not dead. It takes awhile for it to stand (which is normal). You'll also see we have a video where the calf is up and running around.

Zebra's all like: "Whoa, what'd I miss?"
