Giants of the Savanna. I seriously thought this animal was a Rothschild, and ran right up to keepers to ask. I am intensely worried about hybridization of the two species.
More than likely not. Importation is a huge cost for an animal that is essentially well represented. It would take a private individual to do it and be several million in costs.

Indeed. And unless they get a large amount of animals, more likely than not any pure individuals sent to AZA zoos would probably be considered new blood and promptly hybridized.

Goal for the future is set. :) Just kidding, but you never know when I'll win the lottery that I have never entered.
