Tokyo Friends of the Zoo

Animals and Zoos
Fall 2005 issue (No.660)

We publish a report on the artificial rearing of a southern tamandua, which was carried out despite the lack of experience.
We will observe the group life of Naked Mole-rat by analyzing their calls.
There will also be an exhibition of attempts to cultivate Bell-ware, which brings a rich environment to shallow seas.
