China zoo's 20 baby koala bears... including a rare pair of twins | Mail Online
China's biggest zoo showed off its 20-strong koala class of 2013 today, seven years after six were imported from Down Under.

Pictured posing for the camera with their feeders, the group were successfully bred at Chimelong Xiangjiang Safari Park in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province.

In April 2006, the park received six koalas from Australia and is the only zoo in mainland China to display koalas. Among them are an extremely rare set of koala twins.

The safari park owns hundreds of rare wild animals including 70 white tigers that are part of its breeding programme. It also has white lions, white kangaroos, red-headed cranes, flamingos, pygmy hippos and polar bears.

In total there are more than 400 species and 20,000 wild animals under large scale captive breeding at the zoo.

A breeding programme of 70 white tigers? "20,000 animals under large scale captive breeding"? The koalas do look nice, but this is very far from heaven for me...

The Xiangjiang Safari Park is one of the best zoo in China, though the white tiger breeding program is a big shame of it. Along its collection are black-shanked douc, white-headed langur, purple-faced langur, silver gibbon, west black gibbon, siamang, black rhinoceros and pygmy hippo.
 
White-headed Langur ? Howmany do they have, are they breeding and are there any other Chinese collections working with these monkeys ?

I really only meant koalas, And do not like the breeding of white tigers:mad:
 
Looks like Australia should have done a swap for Koalas for Pandas, instead of the current expensive rent of the ones in Adelaide.

China is currently conducting a new census to estimate how many giant pandas remain, the first since a decade ago when it was found that there were fewer than 1,600.
However, the country's controversial panda breeding programme has faced criticism it is making millions from sending the endangered animals abroad while failing to protect the species in the wild.
Last December, Edinburgh Zoo signed a £6million deal to bring two eight-year-old giant pandas

I have not visited the zoo, thus I don't know whether the langurs are bred well. Now there are only two zoos display white-headed langurs, Xiangjiang Safari Park and Shanghai Zoo. Beijing Zoo used to have a pair, but they failed to breed and died. But on the other side, wild white-headed langurs are easy to see; there is a natural park in Chongzuo, Guangxi Autonomous Region, this park is managed by a research group of Peking University and the wild white-headed langurs are easy to see.
