“Whio five†a first for Auckland Zoo


Auckland Zoo has, for the first time, successfully bred five of the nationally endangered torrent duck species, the whio (blue duck).

Born in two clutches over the past five weeks to breeding pair Peki and Kopakopa, the five ducklings represent valuable additions to the Department of Conservation’s (DOC) Blue Duck Recovery Programme.
