Chacoan Peccary

Catagonus wagneri
September 2012
The first of their kind to set trotter outside the New World. Unfortunately remained resolutely right at the back of their long paddock (when they weren't in their house hiding completely)

The West Berlin zoo as it was known then had 3 in its collection between 1977-78, as you can see they did not last long.

These are at the Tierpark (old East Berlin) and only arrived this summer.
2.5 from San Diego, Phoenix and LA

I didn't know that kiang, thanks

Glad that you Europeans get to enjoy them now.

Now if only you can send some White-Lipped's over here...

That's right. We held up our end of the bargain. Now, pay up.
