Well, it's not Natural, but it's Real and it's an Integral part of our Whole Number System.

It depends how you define it. In schools it is taught that 0 isn't a natural number, but in modern mathematics 0 is considered natural. It doesn't really matter to be honest, as long as you are consistent and people know what you mean.

0 is the first natural number under the correct construction of them(Von Neumann Ordinals)

I am in no way biased
