I did google on those terms. I admit I didn't spend a lot of time on it, but I couldn't find anything that gave me a clue of what number of animals of a species one would need to have. Do you have any idea what that number is?

I'm not arguing either side of the "WC Gravid" debate; I don't feel I know enough about it. I do agree that there are probably more than enough BPs in captivity to avoid inbreeding. I think California Condors got down to like 20 left in the entire world, and they seem to be doing ok. I'm asking more out of curiosity than anything.
