Wild Pony Born On Assateague Island

BERLIN, Md. (AP) -- Assateague Island National Seashore officials have announced a bay pinto pony was born in Berlin.

The Daily Times of Salisbury reports there are 93 wild ponies in the herd. Pictures show the pony, a female with three white spots, is in good health, and she has been observed nursing as well.

Officials say visitors to the island hoping to catch a glimpse of the pony may not be able to, as the herd can typically be found in an area out of viewing range for most people traveling in regular vehicles.
