In May of this year, the Zoo was saddened to hear the news of the poisoning of eight Griffon Vultures (Gyps fulvus) in the Golan Heights in northern Israel.

The good news is that we have just finished a successful hatching season at the National Center for Raptor Egg Incubation at the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo, where eggs from all over the country are brought to ensure the best possible outcome - a live chick.
This year,15 eggs hatched at the Zoo and 13 of the chicks survived.
They have all be placed in 'foster care' with couples at the Zoo, Chai Bar Carmel and Ramat HaNadiv.
We look forward to updating you on their progress as they begin to grow up.
Have a safe summer!
