Thank you for sharing with us, Bongorob

 

The warthog born last year aren't the first one born at Chester Zoo. It's the first birth since 30 years

 

I don't recall Chester having Warthog back when you say they bred them!!!

 

But their website said, maybe just network error.

 

They did not keep warthog in 1984.

 

But I recall reading that they bred warthogs in 1984 or it could be a network error.

 

Well it could be a network error on you part,but I can say with 1000% certainty that if bongorob says it didn't happen at Chester then it didn't!!!

 

Yep, and talk about births.

 

I'm not sure any of us are confused between units of length and units of time .....

 

Great thread of great breeding results of a great zoo ! Esp. the 30 Baer's pochards are an important result for this very rare duck ! The same is true for the Grey-breasted conure.
Checked the International Zooyear Book 1984 breeding results for Wart-hog-breeding and only 6 collections bred it in that year: 2 German and 4 Russian zoos bred it and not a single UK collection !

 

Yep, Chester says the Baer's pochard population is less than the current population at the zoo.

 

Thanks Bongorob... Nice that the L B Rollers have bred - first time at Chester?? And similar with the hawk owls??
