I cannot wait for them to start a breeding programme for Arabian leopards soon. Familiar with the place since 1978. It has come a long way since back then.

Does the Al Ain Zoo still have Chinkara gazelles (Gazella benneti), I saw them listed on Zootierliste, but I cant find them listed on the zoo's website, anyways Middle eastern zoos seem to be very good at Gazelle husbandry for many species !!!

What a great experience to see them being born, it means that they are healthy and that they have been kept under good care

I see that they got male gazelles from Wadi Al Safa Wildlife Centre in Dubai, a place I've never heard of but I assume it's a private facility and not open to the public. It does have a few interesting species though so would be good to see.
