A Case Of Zoo Hybrids
Hybridization within zoos and conservation programs has always been a very tricky subject. While it may seem like hybridizing has no place in representing or preserving a species, history in reality tells a different story.

Up until now hybrids have been allowed or dismissed on a case by case scenario which can lead to fluctuating results. These new rules, when implemented, will have a more clearly defined criteria to more streamline and clearly define the prospects of hybrids in zoos. These rules are not yet implemented or fina
Future of the Group / Call for Admins
I want to apologize for being slack in my admin duties recently. Thanks so much for bearing with me.
