"“IN THE CANOPIES of Indonesia you are likely to find a unique and breathtaking species, the knobbed hornbill (Rhyticeros cassidix). Also known as the Sulawesi wrinkled hornbill, this bird gets its name from the red knob or casque at the top of its bill that is detailed with wrinkles or ridges. This hollow structure made of keratin that adorns the top of the bird’s bill can be used for a number of tactics that shape the bird’s biology. Casques can add strength to the bird’s bill and be used as a tool for digging in the dirt or chiseling into tree bark. They can also be used as sound chambers or carriers of vocalizations. Hornbills are omnivorous birds surviving on a diet that is made up of fruits, insects, small reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. Hornbills play an important role in seed dispersal in our environment. They keep the cycle of the forest growing and evolving with all the fruit they consume each day.” Wildlife Conservation Society" sagt Chris Slattery im Habitat Zoo/Gehege am 13.09.2022.

"The Père David's deer, also known as the milu or elaphure, is a species of deer native to the river valleys of China. It grazes mainly on grass and aquatic plants. Today, Père David’s deer exist only in human care. They roam in deer parks, ranches, zoos, and have returned to China to live in reserves. The species is classified as Extinct in the Wild by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The Bronx Zoo has maintained a herd of Père David Deer since 1946 , has produced 175+ offspring over the years. The species is bred at the Bronx Zoo as part of the Species Survival Program (SSP), a cooperative breeding program designed to enhance the genetic viability of animal populations in zoos and aquariums accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)." sagt Chris Slattery im Habitat Zoo/Gehege am 13.09.2022.
