My friends in UAE, has some exciting news regarding
endangered arabian tahr. Management of Nature Conservation (MNC), has done some
admirable piece of work in ex-situ conservation.100 animals were born this
season, in this facility. The centre is expecting five more births before the
season ends. The highlight is a twin birth; a rare occurrence in Arabian tahr.
The centre has 425 Arabian tahrs, believed to be the world’s largest Arabian
tahr population in captivity.
