Some thrown in Findings

[CeylaMin]

Hello Hello ~

These are just some Findings that i had studying around the Zoo Animal List online.
And thought, yes some of them are far far fetched but maybe they could speak for themselfs or spark some Interest in them

Africa darter bird
(African darter)**

***
African middle heron
(Yellow-billed Heron)**

Albrecht Dürer Pig**
Sus scrofa f. domestica**

Unfortunately, it is only known that attempts are already being made to achieve backbreeding of this breed.
Since it is a very old domestic pig breed that is "composed" of many other breeds.

Abbott's Yellow-crested Cockatoo
(Abbott's Cockato)
Cacatua sulphurea abbotti

Occurrence: Indonesia: Masalembu Besar Island
Endangerment Status: CR (Critically Endangered)

The largest remaining occurrence of the Orange-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurera citrinocristata) exists on the Indonesian island of Sumba. Although the core habitat there is largely protected from deforestation and illegal trapping, the stocks are not recovering as expected and only very limited breeding successes have been observed in recent years. The reasons for this are unclear. After establishing various conservation measures for the Yellow-crested Cockatoo in Indonesia as early as 1992, a project team supported by Burung Indonesia (BirdLife Indonesia) and Manupeu Tanadaru National Park started in 2015 to protect the surviving populations of the Yellow-crested Cockatoo in collaboration with the local population to be found and the causes of the lack of breeding success to be clarified. With the "Zoo Animal of the Year 2017" campaign, the project was supported by the Zoological Society for Species and Population Protection (ZGAP) and its partner organizations and zoos with around €28,000.

From 2009-2015, Loro Parque invested USD 172,590 in the protection of the Yellow-crested Cockatoo in Sulawesi. The project included stock counts, ecological studies, assessment and evaluation of illegal trade and local educational projects to get the support and cooperation of the population and authorities.
