This had totally passed me by, looking back i saw that Chessington has bred the first king vulture in the UK, i had always assumed that they had been bred before, shows you what i know.

from their site, for anyone who hasn't seen it yet...
Meet the cute and furry newborn babies at Chessington Zoo
Quote:
A rare baby King Vulture chick has hatched at Chessington World of Adventures & Zoo, the first EVER to be born in the UK! King Vultures have the most powerful bills of the New World Vultures and are native to Central and South America.
Mother, Gladys, laid her egg on Christmas Eve with both parents incubating it until it hatched just over a month ago. Keepers at Chessington Zoo have named the new addition Tatin meaning 'small cute chick' in Spanish!
