Behold, Sisquoc the mighty California condor. In 1982, only 22 California condors remained in the wild. Sisquoc joined us in 1983 as the first chick to ever hatch at a zoo, but thankfully he wasn't the last. Through the California Condor Recovery Program, the population has grown to over 400 birds and we're proud to say we've had 165 hatchlings since Sisquoc's arrival. endextinction.org/wildlife/condor | San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Breeding season for California condors is in full swing, and you know what that means: it's time for a dance-off! Condor trio 805, 861, & 926 have been inseparable for several years, but they have yet to nest together. This year feels different though – for the past few weeks they’ve been spotted passionately dancing nearly every day, and they’ve moved into a premium nesting territory on Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge. Here’s hoping that this is the year they start a family! Video by USFW
