    The park released a teaser for a future crowdfunding campaign. I don’t know if the crowd funding is to save the park or expand it.

    The fundraiser has been able to raise over 21 million yen (nearly $200k). They will use the money for expanding the small-clawed otter and pallas's cat enclosures along with a "reintroduction acclimation" facility for Japanese grouse.

    News article revealing the ptarmigan release/acclimation facility which may also be . From what I can tell, there will be some wild caught animals will be used for "natural breeding and wild acclimation training for the chicks" (per google translate). Animals will be kept indoors in a 20 degrees Celcius room in the summer and outdoors in the winter. Enclosures look better than their display at the zoo has.
