Still Waters Posted August 2 #1 Share Posted August 2 The Los Angeles Zoo is capping off its 2024 California condor breeding season with a record-breaking 17 chicks hatched – all of which will be candidates for release into the wild as part of the California Condor Recovery Program (CCRP). The 17th and final chick of the season hatched in June and is thriving. The previous record of 15 California condor chicks hatched at the L.A. Zoo was set in 1997. “Our condor team has raised the bar once again in the collaborative effort to save America’s largest flying bird from extinction. What we are seeing now are the benefits of new breeding and rearing techniques developed and implemented by our team which put two or three condor chicks together with adult surrogate condors to be raised. The result is more condor chicks in the program and ultimately more condors in the wild.” https://lazoo.org/2024/07/california-condor-season-2024/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
