Why London Zoo's baby is 'step forward' for vultures
A critically endangered vulture chick has been returned to its parents after being hand-reared by zookeepers.
The technique will be shared with conservation zoos worldwide, in the hope it will help bolster the population of R眉ppell's griffons.
It is the first time an incubated hatchling at London Zoo has been returned to its family.
The zoo said it was a "milestone for vulture rearing" and marked a "key step forward" for the species.
成人快手 Radio London's Kath Melandri has been hearing all about it from one of the ZSL zookeepers.
