 DENVER (AP) - A rare Andean condor has hatched at the Denver Zoo, becoming only the second such bird to hatch at a zoo anywhere in the world in the past year, zoo officials said Thursday.
The Denver condor, a male, hatched May 13, joining a condor born in Sydney, Denver Zoo spokeswoman Amy Sarno said. The chick, which does not yet have a name, and his parents, Evita and Andy, are the zoo's only condors, she said.
When the Denver chick matures, it will either be taken to another zoo for breeding — most likely in Europe or South America — or it may be considered for a program in Colombia that releases the birds into the wild, Sarno said.
