- Baby zebra spooked by ostriches dies at Disney Animal Kingdom

Television station WESH reported it spoke with a family who witnessed the incident and was told it happened after the enormous birds were released into the same enclosure.

The family said the experience was upsetting and sent the station cellphone video of Disney employees trying to save the animal.

“We are heartbroken over the loss of our Hartmann’s mountain zebra that passed away yesterday, and we ask that you keep our dedicated animal care Cast Members in your thoughts," a Disney spokesperson said in an email to the station.

Under the Animal Welfare Act the regulations state in  Section  3.133 - (Separation) requires that Animals housed in the same primary enclosure must be compatible. Animals shall not be housed near animals that interfere with their health or cause them discomfort.
