So Cool! Condor Egg in Mexico

So this is totally cool. In 2002 they reintroduced California Condors into Baja California. They hadn't been seen in the wild in Mexico since the 1930s.



Well, one of the Condors born at the LA Zoo has laid an egg. They found it in an abandoned Eagle next in a Mexican National Park (which is apparently how Condors lay eggs).

There are over 200 condors alive now. It is a big deal to me, because I remember when there were less than 20 of them alive and they captured the last 2 to breed them in captivity. No one really thought they would ever be released and fly again. So... yea!
