TAICHUANG: A rare goat-and-deer duo offered to the mainland last year in return for its panda pair will be kept in Weihai Forest Park of East China's Shandong province.
The Taipei city zoo made the offer last year to donate a sika deer, a critically endangered species, and a Formosan serow, a small but agile mountain goat that's also seldom seen anymore in Taiwan. A pair of giant pandas, offered to the island as a goodwill gesture to Taiwan compatriots, were shipped to the Taipei city zoo in December last year.
