E. Both zoos will have both numbers.
Accession number must not be duplicated within an institution, for e.g. if a lion is given
an accession number 50 in your zoo it should stay the same during its lifetime in that zoo.

individual can have several identifying numbers during its lifetime if it is transferred very
often from one institution to other. It will have different accession number at each
institution where it was held.
