Six animals donated to a zoo in the Chinese port city of Tianjin by Kobe's Oji Zoo arrived there Sunday, according to a Chinese report monitored in Tokyo by China News Service.
The giraffe, chimpanzee, zebra and three llamas were donated based on an animal-exchange agreement signed by the two cities early this year, according to the state-run Xinhua News Agency.
In return, the Tianjin zoo will send to Kobe in October a satyr tragopan pheasant, native to Tibet, and a Pallas' cat, an endangered feline native to China.
