This is the article I was referring to, from Duke, about the initial difficulties of breeding from captive-born males. It is from 2006, I didn't realise that it was so long ago. It would seem that the problem has now been surmounted.

Thank you. An interesting read and it really illustrates how quickly a captive breeding program can be turned around with a little research.

Bang on, 2 more holders now!

I really would now expect Rotterdam and one of the Czech zoos to follow suit soon!
 
An aardvark was born march 30, and it is mother reared. Its the first young to the new pair, imported from Tanzania in 2009.
 
1.0 Black Howler Monkey arrived from Stuttgart. A pair of females later joined him from the Netherlands

A flock of Flamingo chicks have moved into the former Shoebill exhibit. Shoebill will return to Frankfurt once stock is avaliable....
 
The 2 Black Rhinos which should send back to Africa, will stay at Frankfurt ! Transport-costs have become much more expensive so it has been dicided to keep male Kalusho ( 28 ) and female Tsororo ( 27 ) at Frankfurt !

Good to find out after just returning thinking best get a shift on to see them! Still, had a really good time. Construction meant that [I think] the bears were off-limits and I think some birds up by the bird house may have been. Kiwis were off-show so didn't see them, however the Ploughshare tortoise are on-show near the viewing window of the kiwi breeding area/tree-kangaroo. Pictures to follow from my trip tomorrow.
