In June 2018, FAS Berlin received a request to facilitate the export of five takins – a “goat-antelope” from the eastern Himalayas – from Berlin’s zoo (Tierpark) to their new home at the San Diego Zoo. FAS Berlin worked with local officials and U.S. veterinarians from the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service to ensure the transit of these animals.
