OAKLAND, Calif. – The Oakland Zoo is home to a wide variety of cute and fascinating animals , one of which recently exhibited minor injuries that prompted officials to take action.
During this summer , staff members from the Northern California Condor Restoration Program noticed issues with the wing of the bird known as C0, and it was transported to the zoo’s Condor Recovery Center for further evaluation.
According to experts at the Oregon Zoo, condors stretch up to 10 feet from wingtip to wingtip, as the once-endangered species is the largest land bird in North America.
In 1987, the entire wild population was reduced to just 22 birds. They were finally reintroduced into the wild in 1992 after years of conservation and recovery efforts.
