Endangered bongo antelope dies at Zoo Atlanta


The oldest known eastern bongo antelope living in captivity has died at Zoo Atlanta.

Zoo President and CEO Dennis Kelly said Tuesday that the 19-year-old animal named Mzima was euthanized after her health declined because of age. The bongo came to the zoo in 2004 from the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas.

She was born at the Texas zoo in 1989.

Mzima was the oldest bongo living in an accredited U.S. zoo, and the second-oldest eastern bongo in captivity worldwide. Bongos are among the most endangered animals at the zoo, with just 500 believed to remain in the wild.

The animals are striped with long horns and are native to Africa. The zoo's Web site says the entire wild eastern bongo population now lives in two parks in Kenya.

Birthday Specials at Singapore Zoo

Transform a special day into a wildly extraordinary one when you next visit Jurong Bird Park, Night Safari or Singapore Zoo on your birthday.

From October 1, guests who visit any of the three parks on their birthdays will receive complimentary admission. So if your birthday falls on October 1, do not be bashful to be the first few to enjoy this privilege.

To gain complimentary admission to any of the three parks on their birthdays, visitors only need to present an identification document in exchange for a free birthday badge. And, if you wear the badge throughout the visit, you’ll be pleasantly bombarded with birthday wishes from staff you’ll encounter during the day, a free scoop of ice-cream and a 10% discount at participating retail and F&B outlets*

In conjunction with the Birthday Badge program, Singapore Zoo and Jurong Bird Park also introduced birthday party packages for children below the age of 12. Magical mirthful merriment also awaits those who decide to celebrate at Singapore Zoo’s Rainforest Kidzworld.

Even better, whisk yourselves into an amazing African adventure at Jurong Bird Park’s Bongo Burgers Restaurant. This October, plan an out-of-this-world Halloween-themed birthday bash at either of the parks. Adults, don’t feel left out as customised birthday parties can also be arranged!
