Golden Takin has been born!

We are pleased to announce that Golden Takin was born at Tama Zoo.
This will be our first successful breeding in approximately seven years, since 2019.

Golden Takin was born.

Progress

Since the summer of 2025, Nazuna and Hama have been kept together, and during that time, Hama has been observed mounting Nazuna on multiple occasions. In anticipation of a birth around May 2026, preparations have been made to create a suitable environment, and on June 11, 2026, at around 9:00 AM, the zookeepers confirmed the birth of one cub inside the animal enclosure.
This is Nazuna's first birth, and she is calmly raising her pup in a private bedroom. The pup was seen standing up and nursing from its mother earlier that day. We are prioritizing creating a safe and secure environment for both mother and child and are carefully monitoring them.

Regarding the release schedule

We will announce the release date as soon as it is decided.
