Lovely to see this species back in Europe.....

But for how long ? One of the females died recently-so 2.1 left...if no other zoos will import them, this species has no chance for a true Comeback in europe-these animals are just the drop water on a hot stone...

By the way-excellent picture-"Jack"is a beautyful male.

Agreed; for a sustainable European population more individuals are needed although, hopefully, some other zoos will acquire the species too.
