Keeper Sydney says "Here at TWP we hand rear our penguin chicks to help with a variety of things such as eating directly from keepers hands and being more confident around people and making sure they are gaining weight as they should. They are also an endangered species so we need as many penguins to survive as possible, hand rearing significantally increases survival rate." #penguins #penguin #penguinchick #chick #babypenguins | Tanganyika Wildlife Park | Tanganyika Wildlife Park · Original audio

I was reminded today of an May 2021 post where I observed without any concrete evidence back then ... that before long I expected a GOH rhino calf to be born at TWP and so it did in early February 2023!!!

Does anyone have new information when the transfer of bull Dubya did take place?
(Also ..., if he made any inroads with the FF at Fossil Rim ... of course????).


TBH:
I did and don't expect anything much now from any of the southern black rhino program. I am afraid it was badly administered by AZA ... and certainly since the eastern black rhino SSP was well-established historically and the IRF never got to grips with AZA over a part of the black rhino SSP being focussed on rescue and recovery of the southern black subspecies ....
