the edge of extinction. Scientists at the Paignton Zoo
in England have managed to hatch one of the

been nearly wiped out due to a
nasty disease. Zoos like Toronga
Zoo in Sydney collect and raise the

In 1982, only 22 California condors were left in

a program to raise the birds at the zoo. Many of
these have been released back into the wild.
Today, more than 400 live in the wild.
