At the zoo in Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture, where we are working on the breeding of Japan's special natural monument, "Japanese grouse", chicks returned for the first time from the eggs laid by their parent birds.

The Nasu Zoo Kingdom, a zoo in Nasu, participates in projects such as the Ministry of the Environment, and breeds and breeds the endangered "Japanese grouse", which is a national special natural monument.

Director Tetsuya Sato held a press conference on the 16th and announced that chicks had changed from eggs laid in the zoo for the first time.

The female parent that bred laid 18 eggs, which means that by 16th, four chicks had been born from the eggs that the parent had warmed.

In addition to the birth of one artificial egg hatcher, one egg has been returned from the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, and a total of six chicks are now bred.

Ototoshito and last year, the zoo's parent birds laid eggs, but the chicks did not change, says Sato. I was relieved and happy when I was born."
