Abstract

A female Saanen goat was pregnated by a Markhor (Capra falconeri) and three Himalayan tahrs (Hemitragus jemlahicus) were mismated by a conspecific male at Seoul zoo. Cross-breeding whether intentional or unintentional is considered opposite to the primary rule of species conservation. The Markhor, imported in October, 2002, having the number of chromosomes (2n = 60) same as domestic goats accidently mated with a Saanen goat. The mating time was back-calculated on the basis of zookeepers' record. The Saanen and three Himalayan tahrs (2n = 48) were successfully aborted by intramuscularly injecting 15mg $PFG_2{\alpha}$ (dinoprost tromethamine).

서울동물원에서 쟈넨 염소가 마콜에 의해 임신이 되었고, 세 마리의 히말라얀타알이 같은 종의 수컷에게 잘못 임신이 되었다. 의도적이던 우발적이던 다른 종간에 번식을 시켜 잡종을 생산하는 것은 종보전의 근본적인 원칙에 위배된다. 2002년 10월에 수입되었으며 염색체수가 염소와 같은 60개를 가진 마콜이 우연히 쟈넨과 교미를 하게 되었다. 사육사들의 기록을 토대로 교미날짜를 추정하였다. 히말라얀타알 3수와 쟈넨은 $PFG_2{\alpha}$ 제재 (dinoprost tromethamine) 15 mg을 근육주사하여 성공적으로 유산을 시켰다.
