Inbreeding problems in Australian zoos
Old 08-04-2008
Oh dear it seems that the problems with limited founder stock isn't just confined to carnivores and hoofstock! Although this breeding programme doesn't appear anywhere on the Dubbo website.

Those two are a pair of ugly, depraved fools. Some of the pgymy hippo photos in the gallery are more appealing than those two human beasts.

Rodney Dangerfield!

Rodney:"Doc, what's wrong with me? I wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and I feel like I wanna throw up! What's wrong with me,doc?"

Doctor,"I don't know, but your eyesight's perfect!"

That's a little harsh although not very appealing to look at, the pygmy hippos might note the word might be healthy. Nevertheless hopefully the two will breed. Hippos need help.
