Tokyo Friends of the Zoo

Animals and Zoos
Fall 2010 issue (No.680)

The cover features a water shrew at Tama Zoo.
As the name suggests, it is a rodent that lives in rivers and other places, but is closely related to moles.
We will introduce the difficulties faced in raising water mice and the creative ideas that were put into creating an exhibit, such as providing a water source.
The twists and turns of the journey to building a relationship of trust with Asian Elephant.
