At last, an antelope species which you you not have in the States...I took this picture in 2007.
Unfortunately, there are only two zoos in europe with mountain reedbucks, both in germany.
There were four institutions in Europe which kept the species in 2001. Does anybody know which was the fourth zoo which has not mentioned yet? Thanks ...
Could it be Vienna ? I know they has kept them, I was there in 2003 but I havn't seen reedbucks there, maybe I've missed them.
The Zoo Halle in germany has kept them also, and I think, it was in 2001. I don't know what happend to them, if they died or send to another zoo, I have to ask for that.
Oh, yes, I've forgotten ... You are right Zebraduiker: Vienna Zoo kept this species in a mixed-species exhibit with Roan antilopes .... and there was an other institution, the Lisboa Zoo which also housed their Mountain Reedbucks together with Kafue Flats Lechwe in the early 2000s ...
Dvur Kralove has been keeping and breeding Mountain Reedbucks since 1970's, when a group of about 8 animals had been originally imported from Africa by Josef Vagner, the former, famous director in Dvur Kralove.
