Zoo breeds two critically endangered Roti Island snake-necked turtles (a first for the zoo): Taipei Zoo breeds two critically endangered turtles - Taipei Times Taipei Zoo has bred endangered Roti Island snake-necked turtles for the first time, it said on Wednesday.

The zoo worked with the Turtle Island conservation center in Austria to import a Roti Island snake-necked turtle and attempt breeding, it said, adding that it produced its first fertilized eggs in April. Eggs from the species typically have an incubation period of about 120 days, meaning that the eggs hatched this month, it said.

The 2 male pygmy hippos are 秋祥 (Qiu Hsiang) and 侏長 (Chu Chang). There are several romanization systems for spelling Mandarin though, so 秋祥 and 侏長 can be spelled as "Ch'iu Hsiang" and "Chu Ch'ang", or "Qiu Xiang" and "Zhu Chang".
