    Are there many other facilities breeding defassa waterbucks in Europe?

    Of the 22 holders in the EU, eight have bred with the Defassa waterbuck in the past five years, according to ZTL. A large number of them even several times.

    I know how to find holders, just not the ones that have breeding. Can that be found on Zootierliste, as well?

    If you click on the holders' names, you can see more information. The information is in German, so if a zoo has ever had young, it will say something like 'Nachzucht' (German for offspring), usually with a year attached.

    Zucht means breeding, but if you see keine Zucht that means no breeding has taken place, vormalige OR ehemalige Zucht means breeding in the past, but not anymore. regelmassige Zucht means regular breeding. If somewhere only Zucht is mentioned it can mean anything from annual breeding to a single breeding event years ago.

    I come to Sigean Thursday. A paradise for antelope-lover. During Winter, not many people, even at the morning. I saw the Nile Lechwes very well, (the last time, no signs of them). Two mature males (one with roans and giraffes), a 3 months-old baby, one female, and two young males.

    But i have questions about this sable. It's the first time i see a golden Sable. Anyone has more infos about this animal ?
