【Emperor Penguins are bred in 2 parks】
Currently, there are only 2 parks in Japan that have Emperor Penguins, namely Adventure World and Nagoya Port Aquarium in Aichi Prefecture.
In our park, all 12 babies born so far are born from the same parents.
And the pedigree problem is getting worse.
In 2009, we started a breeding loan at 2 parks for future breeding.

In March of this year, they was pedigree exchanged as a breeding loan for the first time in 10 years.
For example, exchange information on egg testing methods that test for sperm or infertility.etc...We aim for breeding in both sides.

* What is a bleeding loan?
It's a system that lends and borrows animals between zoos and aquariums in order to constantly increase the number of rare animals.
We are working together to save the species.
Breeding loans, breeding of rare animals in pairs and groups has progressed, and many animals have been successfully bred.
