The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens is currently celebrating two new additions to one of the world’s most endangered bird species!
Born to Bastet (mom) and Ra (dad), two waldrapp ibis, also known as northern bald ibis, chicks recently hatched at The Living Desert.
These two births are particularly significant because there are only a few hundred remaining in the wild.
These hatchlings were part of the Northern Bald Ibis Species Survival Plan. This is a strategic and scientific program, managed by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and is designed to maintain a healthy, genetically diverse, and demographically stable population for the long-term future.
