In the breeding report, we will introduce you to the breeding efforts of Greater One-horned Rhinoceros of Tama Zoo and Eastern Black Rhinoceros of Ueno Zoo, respectively.
In addition, we will provide information on how it was discovered that there are two species of albatrosses, which were previously thought to be one species, and growth records of twins born this year at Ueno Zoo, Giant Panda and Black Lemur.
