CINCINNATI, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden officials said two endangered Andean condors have boarded a jet bound for the birds' native Columbia.
The zoo said the female condors, which were hatched from parents at the Cincinnati and the San Antonio zoos, will be released into the Colombian wild as part of an international program aimed at reintroducing species to their native homes, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported Thursday.
Officials said the condors, the fifth and sixth of their species to be sent to South America by the zoo in the past 14 years, will be outfitted with tracking equipment before they are released.
