The Zoo will recieve some new anmals for its breeding-programm with the Japanese crocodile newts ( Echinotrion andersoni ). For some time a number of animals were found in a postal packet in Belgium and because its in Belgium forbidden to import animals in this way, the animals were taken in costody and send to the Zoo of Antwerp and there after to an Amphibian-specialist. Now the animals will be send back to their home-land and hopefully help the breeding-programm at Okinawa.
All 14 monkeys catched again : All 14 monkeys that escaped from Okinawa zoo recaptured - The Mainichi
Some of the zoo's Ryukyu Leaf turtles Yellow-Margined box turtles have been stolen from it. Dozens of endangered turtles disappear from Japan zoo
Disaster that! Pot. a private collectors job?! How many left here now? Still a breeding group or not?
