I’m hopeful we’ll see Eastern bongo housed at Melbourne again in the near future. As inspiring as it’d be to see a natural herd size of 50 accommodated at Werribee, I’m assuming it’s not possible to source the number of founders required to achieve this anytime before the next century. The clue is in Dubbo’s Singapore import. It would have been just as easy to import several cows, but instead they only imported one. They’re a critically endangered species, so likely not in great surplus (especially the cows).
