Orycteropus

The oldest still living captive Onager @ Budapest Zoo

She is the oldest still living captive Onager, Mami, who 'celebrated' her 34th birthday on the 2nd of June in 2008. She was born in Planckendeal and live at Budapest since 1977.
The second oldest Onager, the stallion Reveille lives at Cumberland Zoo, Ohio, he was born in 1979.
As the captive animals live longer then their wild counterparts she is probably the oldest Onager in the world at present. According to historical datas the oldest Onager was ever lived died at the age 38.

This long-lived specimen unfortunately has died on the 19th of January 2009. No more Onager left in Budapest Zoo.
