Upcoming animal transactions

Upcoming animal transactions
3/12/2007
Mid-March's warmer weather means....soon we will be able to ship live animals by air (day time temp has to be above 45 degrees)! We have several transactions in the works for this spring. Some are SSP (species survival plan) moves: one of our male gibbons will go to the Indianapolis Zoo to be paired up for breeding and we'll receive a male ring-tailed lemur to add to our display group. As an AZA (Association of Zoos and Aquariums) facility, we participate in several national breeding programs. Rare animals managed by an SSP committee are usually not bought and sold, as they are owned collectively by all AZA zoos. However, transportation and pre-shipment test costs are often significant. Other transactions in the works: we'll send a pair of Weid's marmosets to the Alexandria Zoo, three pairs of green-winged doves from the San Diego zoo, two alligators from Gatorland, and six blue poison dart frogs from the Como Zoo.
Plus, the surprise for the summer...two Bald Eagles! The Blank Park Zoo has not displayed a large bird of prey in over 20 years! The two adult, non-releasable eagles will be coming from the Baltimore Zoo on loan from the US fish and Wildlife Service.
Plus...there are always a few babies born right here at the zoo...I'll keep you posted!

As a member of the American Eagle Foundation(Pigeon Forge, Tn.), I was excited that Bald Eagles were at the zoo. I would, however, liked to have seen them in a more natural habitat which would help them to be more at ease. I hope they will remain at Blank Park Zoo for a very long time. They, of course, are my favorite.
