A Griffon vulture – or a Mossad agent? |
More than one hundred managers of leading zoos from around Europe met in Jerusalem’s Biblical Zoo Friday. this was the first time the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria has held a conference in Israel.
Among other issues delegates got the full story of the “Mossad agents” recently captured in Saudi Arabia.
In January, Saudi media reported that a vulture captured in the country was sent by the Mossad, after its captors found standard Israeli tracking marks on the bird.
The vulture, like all other vultures born in captivity in Israel in recent years, hatched in the Biblical Zoo and was released from the Golan Heights.
The vulture’s story was described as “Birds as peacemakers in a conflict zone,” showcasing of the Zoo’s incubator and the return to nature of wild birds hatched there.
“Some of the project we initiate could be a bridge to our neighbors,” zoo director Shai Doron told Haaretz.
