Ungulate Profiles
The AZA Ungulate TAGs are committed to developing sustainable ungulate populations in zoos to ensure the ongoing survival of imperiled species. These one-sheet profiles help match zoos with appropriate species and enhance long-term institutional commitment.
These profiles highlight species-specific husbandry notes, along with ways in which each ungulate can improve visitor experiences, enhance educational programs, and connect with in situ efforts. Use the profiles as a tool to garner ideas and pitch new additions to upper management levels! The TAGs welcome interested institutions to contact the corresponding species coordinator for more information. Please note that husbandry practices are constantly evolving. These documents may not contain current contact information or program status, nor reflect recent advancements in husbandry knowledge or current best practices.
