Delhi Zoo Seeks Mate for Lone Egyptian Vulture After Two Decades
The Delhi Zoo's sole Egyptian vulture, Jatayu, which has lived without a mate for over two decades, may soon be paired with a companion. Zoo officials are in preliminary talks with two other zoos to arrange a suitable mate. Additionally, the zoo plans to visit the vulture breeding and conservation centre in Pinjore, Haryana, which focuses on breeding critically endangered Gyps vultures. Egyptian vultures typically breed from four to five years old and can live up to 25 years in the wild, often forming long-term pair bonds.
