This book was entirely created by 11 year old Irish boy David Twamley during his mid-term break. His choice of animals is based on European zoos that have pandas. It is his first attempt at a Powerpoint document.

The Book of International Studbooks by David Brendan Twamley
- 1. The Book of International Studbooks by David Brendan Twamley
- 2. INTRODUCTION THIS book will take you to a world of international studbooks for several endangered creatures from the famous giant panda, African elephant and western lowland gorilla to the least known okapi, drill monkey and Malayan sun bear. The international studbook is a book of births, deaths and transfers for each different species such as the giant panda in Beijing, the koala in Melbourne and the malayan tapir in taman safari. I have a big interest in animals and that is why I made this book. Thanks from David Twamley Good Luck!
