I've been thinking of using generic ostrich in lieu of Arabian ostrich, and I'm wondering if something similar has been done in zoos already.
Afterall, many large animal species exant today, such as lions and leopards, historically had much wider distributions than today.
I thought it would be good to create a thread where zoochatters can share anything they know or find out about the history of either ex-situ captive breeding of endangered species at Jersey zoo or the in-situ conservation work assisted by the Durrell Trust around the world.
So feel free to post...
