Laid, hatched, and raised at the Los Angeles Zoo, Zenith (650) was a part of the 2014 Big Sur release cohort. At first, Zenith (650) wasn't too sure about life outside of the zoo, and it took about 10 minutes for him to leave his kennel and enter the flight pen in our wilderness sanctuary. When he finally decided to emerge, he rocketed in with a big bang and awkward push out of the kennel! He seemed to be much more cautious than the others that entered the pen with him. Despite his spirited entrance, Zenith (650) turned out to be the most reserved condor of his cohort; he had his favorite perch and preferred to sit alone rather than with his fellow juveniles back in 2014.
Zenith (650)'s name was inspired by his first flight during his release that March. He flew immediately toward the "Pen Cam" and straight up, high into the sky, on a big thermal! Since his release, Zenith (650) has thoroughly explored the central coast.
