FUKUOKA, Nov. 15 --

 

A closed zoo in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture, is delivering 14 rare

animals, including a white tiger, a squirrel monkey and a mandrill, to a

Beijing zoo on Wednesday.

The animals went through quarantine at Fukuoka airport Wednesday

morning, accompanied by Yasushi Kiriyama, a breeder at the Itozu Yuen

zoo, which closed in May.

 

" I hope they will soon adjust to the new environment, " Kiriyama said,

adding that he will later go to China to check up on the animals.

 

The zoo, now owned by a local railway company, will be transferred to

the Kitakyushu municipal government and will reopen in April 2002 as a

park.
