Thailand’s Nakhon Ratchasima zoo has successfully hatched the first giant vulture chick in captivity since the critically rare bird vanished from the wild in the country about 30 years ago. It is the world’s second chick to hatch in captivity.

 

Atthaporn Srihayrun, director of the Zoological Park Organisation, said this morning (Monday) that the chick successfully hatched on March 8th, after about 50 days in an incubator, and is now about one-month old.

 

The other egg is being hatched by its mother, Nui, at the zoo.
