Animals and Zoos
Spring 2019 issue (No.714)

This report on Aye-aye care traces the progress of the aye-aye over the past 10 years since the "Aye-aye Forest" opened at Ueno Zoo.
We will also be bringing you a roundtable discussion director on the theme of "exhibitions," an article about the World Aquarium Congress held last fall, a behind-the-scenes look at the migration of Ueno Ueno Zoo 's Sumatran Tiger, and an article about the unknown ecology of Japanese bush warblers, focusing on their songs.
