The Zoo's New Resident is Maret, the Pony Foal

The photo features Maret, a soon-to-be three-week-old pony foal. He is the new resident at the Yerevan Zoo. This news is shared with visitors via the Yerevan Zoo's Facebook page.

“As many employees at the zoo call him, Grandpa Mosis, the caretaker of the ponies. When we asked him to show us the newborn pony for a photo, he called out, 'Maret!' It turns out that Grandpa Mosis himself named the pony. When asked if Maret is his favorite name, he said, 'No, it's Armenian, it's traditional, not one of those European names.' So, let us introduce you to the pony foal, from now on known as Maret.
