Wow zoogiraffe, that must have been an aw-inspiering experiance, I would very much love to have seen them, having seen 2 of the species that you're desparate to see in your liftime, were even I'm very much hoping that this species will begin to creem back into european zoo's, tho that seems very unlikely, apart from tallin zoo. I'm sure if the late john aspinall was around he'd definatly have an intrest in aquiering some.
If the last females hadn't died, does anyone believe there would have been a future for the species in coogne? Maguari, did you ever yourself see a saiga at cologne?
No I don't think there would have been a future for this species at Koln,if the females had died,as there wasn't much chance of them getting any new blood in to keep the species going,as for did Maguari see them at Koln he certainly did as he was stood along side me,whilst I was drooling over the last male!
As zoogiraffe says, I did indeed make it to Cologne in time to see the last Saiga (though with not too many months to spare - my second cologne visit was about 15 months later and the Saiga was gone).
