Sometimes saving species requires a helping hand. Ex situ breeding programs are often necessary to help boost population numbers with the hopes of one day reintroducing a species to its native home. In today's story, we shellebrated our breeding program for the critically endangered Burmese star tortoise. Do you have any questions about the breeding process? #endextinction #astarishatched #tinytortoise #endangeredspecies #sandiegozoo #reptilehouse
