The onager foal has been running off energy while enjoying his new habitat, zookeepers said.
Chester Zoo has celebrated the birth of what it said was one of the rarest animals on earth.Onagers hail from the semi-desert regions of Iran, and are related to domestic donkeys.Conservationists at the zoo said there are less than 600 surviving wild onagers, but the birth "of the leggy youngster" could help safeguard the species from extinction.
Mr Jordan said Jasper is "doing very well" and added that "mum Azita is doing a fantastic job of nurturing and bonding with her new charge".
