Rare giant vulture lays first egg in 25 years at Nakhon Ratchasima zoo

 

 

Officials at the zoo in Thailand’s northeastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima are excited that an endangered giant vulture at the zoo has laid the first viable egg in the country for 25 years. They are hoping that it will be fertile and hatch into a vulture chick.

 

Mr. Narongwit Chodchoi, the acting director of the zoo, told Thai PBS on Tuesday that the egg, which was laid on January 31st, is now being kept in an incubator and is being watched over closely by vets.

 

A formal press conference about the good news is scheduled for Friday.

The vulture has realised that the world is fuc&ed and doesn't want to die alone !

Omlette for Premchai Karnasuta maybe!

Silly question - but are there 2 vultures there, or just 1?

 

'cause I'm pretty sure you can't get a fertile egg from 1 bird...

Last paragraph of the ThaiPBS article, 5 birds at the zoo, the last remaining 5 that is, not a lot of hope for the species really, ????

Is there a picture of the vulture?

Yes, but they don't want people to confuse it with a politician.....

It‘s clearly an omen.

But no need to buy a lottery ticket anymore, therefore no numbers provided ...
