Silly question - but are there 2 vultures there, or just 1?

 

'cause I'm pretty sure you can't get a fertile egg from 1 bird...

Last paragraph of the ThaiPBS article, 5 birds at the zoo, the last remaining 5 that is, not a lot of hope for the species really, ????

Officials at the zoo in Thailand’s northeastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima are excited that an endangered giant vulture at the zoo has laid the first viable egg in the country for 25 years. They are hoping that it will be fertile and hatch into a vulture chick.

 

Mr. Narongwit Chodchoi, the acting director of the zoo, told Thai PBS on Tuesday that the egg, which was laid on January 31st, is now being kept in an incubator and is being watched over closely by vets.

 

A formal press conference about the good news is scheduled for Friday.
