Some sad news. Apparently, Motek at Ramat Gan passed away at the age of 62 on February 27th, 2022. He lived a pretty long life and sired many,...
I must agree with this. It still irritates me with EEP and Emmen. The EEP limited the breeding to ONE cow with NO guarantee of a female calf?...
This is very sad. He was an incredibly successful bull. He had a huge number of offsprings and lived to a truly blessed age. Along with it, a...
Such a shame to see a founder like Motek pass on, but he didn't leave empty handed. He is survived by his 14 surviving calves, 24 surviving...

I I do mean Berlin Tierpark, my bad. Justa died in 2010, and so did Swana and Stavit in 2013. I think the issue is there are so many bulls...
As far as the zoos, Ramat Gan and Jerusalem Biblical Zoo are the largest. Ramat Gan is half a drive-through safari (with large herds of hippos,...
