This momentous occasion marks the first time this threatened heritage breed has been born on zoo grounds, underlining the zoo’s dedication to the conservation of rare and endangered species.
The Cotton Patch Goose, once a staple on Southeastern farms for their ability to weed cotton and corn fields, faced decline in numbers by the mid-20th century. The birth of these goslings not only represents a significant achievement in heritage breed conservation but also adds a new chapter to the zoo’s ongoing efforts to educate and connect the public with the importance of biodiversity and species preservation.
