Tokyo Friends of the Zoo

Animals and Zoos
Summer 2017 issue (No.707)

We will introduce the challenge of raising moles with a focus on food, and the trial and error involved in breeding White-bellied Go-away-bird.
The "Special animal keeper 's Guide" is about the new exhibit "Luminescent Creatures" at Tokyo Sea Life Park.
Research staff from Tokyo Sea Life Park will also be conducting an ecological survey of Wrought Iron Butterflyfish.
