Tokyo Friends of the Zoo

Animals and Zoos
Summer 2019 issue (No.715)

We will introduce the life of "Bakari," an okapi kept in the United States, before he came to Ueno Zoo and what he looks like after he was released to the public.
This report on the care of Bornean Orangutan at Tama Zoo focuses on the growth of mother and child, Valentine and Cheria, who are being hand-reared.
We will also bring you articles about the successful artificial and natural breeding of Eurasian Oystercatcher at Ueno Zoo.
