Gifted serow dies in zoo
Print Edition
A ZOO in the eastern province of Shandong said a male serow sent by Taiwan as a gift died suddenly on November 29 due to heart and lung failure.
The serow is a type of goat-like animal indigenous to Taiwan.
The animal, named Xiyangyang (“merry goat”), showed no signs of abnormality before zoo staff found it was dead on the morning of November 29, the Liugongdao National Forest Park in Weihai City said.
A group of experts sent by Taipei Zoo, the original home of the animal, arrived in Weihai soon after being informed of the death and performed an autopsy along with zoologists in Shandong, according to the zoo.
Taiwan sent the animal, along with its mate, Leyangyang, and a pair of spotted deer, Fan Xing and Dian Dian, in 2011 as a token of improved cross-Strait relations.
Since arriving at their new homes in Liugongdao, Dian Dian has given birth to three fawns, and Leyangyang has delivered two kids, one of which died shortly after its birth.
