We also released some tortoises at Mogumber, and last I heard, they were doing well. The colony there will now become a Maintenance Colony, with no further releases. Some of the early released tortoises are now approaching adulthood, and need to be left to their own devices for a few years so the scientists can determine if the colony is sustainable. The Zoo is still breeding, and the next release may be at Moore River Nature Reserve. Trials in 2006 and 2007 indicate that area is suitable for a new colony. |
