Condor chicks breeding season rated a ’10’ success at LA Zoo

Best wishes are in order for the 10 California condor chicks hatched this year at the Los Angeles Zoo. The zoo’s healthy hatchlings in the 2025 condor breeding season will be candidates for release into the wild as part of the California Condor Recovery Program, under the leadership of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The zoo, and also the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, are 1981 founding members of the California Condor Recovery Program. The two organizations also began the California condor captive breeding program.
