Japan Serow Center (Closed) Japan Serow Centre

[Bagger Jan]

Some time ago, I received a pamphlet from the Japan Serow Centre. Since there is no information in this chat about this now closed little zoo - here are some notes:

July 1960 - the centre was founded by Gazaisho Roepwa Co. Ltd. on the 1212 m high Mount Gazaisho

August 12, 1965 - the breeding of the Japanese Serow succeeds here for the first time

1977 - the Centre receives Rocky Mountain Goats from the Los Angeles Zoo

1978 - the centre acquires Pronghorn antelopes

1980 - The centre gets Chamois from the Helsinki Zoo

1983 - from Taipei Zoo the Centre acquires Formosan Serows

1984 - The Centre acquire Saigas from San Diego

1986 - also from San Diego Musk Ox come to Gozaisho

30.11.2006 - the Japan Serow Centre is closed

For your Info I will add 2 images from the pamphlet

Why in the pamphlet(@Bagger Jan's media) does it say they have Chiru Antelope? I have found no historical record of them keeping Chiru.

Bagger Jan did post the pamphlet to the gallery which does have a picture of a chiru. However I can’t really understand why it’s on there.
