§ 2155 Wild Animal Progeny Permits

• •Wild animal offspring follow the same rules as the parent animal.
• •If you already have a permit for the parent, you don't need a new permit for the babies as long as they stay at the same site.
• •If the parent doesn't have a permit or the babies are moved to a different place, you must get a permit for the offspring.

A zoo gets a permit to import a wild alligator. The alligator lays eggs and the baby alligators hatch in the same zoo enclosure.

Because the zoo already has a permit for the adult alligator and the babies stay at the same zoo, the zoo can keep the baby alligators without getting another permit.
