    Reports and photos (though Facebook) are suggesting that Nogeyama Zoo has managed to successfully hatch at least one Ploughshare Tortoise. Can anyone confirm this ?

    Well after the tuatara hatching in Chester, this is another great great great breeding achievement for zoos globally!

    Any info on the group size and make-up, FL?

    The zoo has three adults (2.1), two juveniles (0.0.2) and one hatchling.

    In 2016, the zoo already had 3 hatchlings. The adults (2.1) had been at Nogeyama since 2011. Some arithmetic gives me the impression that the rise to 11 is just a continuum with the latest hatchling adding to previous hatchings over the interval.
