Bowmanville Zoo has one of the best breeding success rates of anywhere and has built a reputation of being 'the' place for camels, and zebras. Keith Conneli, owner of the zoo, believes that one of the major problemns facing the.zoo this year is local recognition. He points out that almost everyone passing through stops to see the zoo but few local residents take the time to visit. "We've got a lot of new attractions this year and a number of rare -species," said Mr. Conneli. "I just picked up some Pere David deer while I was in the United States last week. These are among the rarest deer in the world." Because of the zoo's reputa- tion for breeding, Mr. Connell was able. to obtain the deer for breeding purposes. Along with these, he also obtained rare Indian Swamp deer. The zoo officially opened its doors to the public for the season.on Sunday, although, Mr. Connell admits that they have, been allowing aniyone who dropped by to tour the facilities. S"We've been waiting for the weather to clear up," he said. "Last season, the raia on Labor Day put a damper on things but we still had 150,0001 people come through. This year we're looking forward to record attendance, but that all depends on the type of weather we get." This year the zoo had its first two hundred (Bactrian) came! born,, a girl. According to Mr. Connell,,tis was'the culmination of 10 years of frustration and trying. By far the biggest attract- the expensive and rare species and spending their time with the rabbits and ducks. There are more than 110 species of animals and birds scattered throughout the 10 acres the zoo is currently using. Mr. Connell stated that his major business was not tourism, but breeding. Along with being a major camel and zebra breeder, Mr. Conneli is also recognized as being among the best Macaw breeders. In f àct, the Bowmanville zoo is one of the only zoos ever to have raised these birds. So far, Mr. Conneil has raised 14. Animal sales are the biggest part of Mr. Connell's enterprise. This year along, he is sending three zebras and a camnel to the United States before the summer, if ail goes well. He said, however, that breeding and selling animals has become over regulated by the American government and many dealers have stopped breeding cats because of the permits and red tape that are involved. ions at the zoo, sai Mr. Connell, are the loose deer. Zoos, he said, are beginning Visitors are aiiowed to mingle to trade and boan animais to with the deer and other tame each other to get around the animais and he said this was taxes and government thriliing for smiall chldren. bureaucracy. Mr. Conneil, One of the anomalies he found however, stated that these funny, however, was the problems were not as severe visitors' habit of walking by in Canada because, he believes, the people in Ottawa are good at their job. The zoo is open every day from 10 a.m. until dusk. OBITUARY MRS. NELLIECLARK A resident of Bestview Nursing Home, Oshawa, Mrs. Nellie Clarke died at the Oshawa General Hospital Monday, May 1, 1978.
