That's fantastic! I'm thrilled thanks for taking the time out to help. I can't believe I've missed so many lemurs - ha, the insects, birds etc I knew I had a lot of work to do on. Glad to see my favourites the vasa parrots are kept at a couple of other zoos too - people always seem quite dismissive of them - but I love them - they feature heavily in my book although I'm afraid I have them talking - artistic licence
 - lol. I'm curious about barn owl being on the list - are they an african species then? My guide book has the red owl in it which looks similar. Pity nobody has the other type of fossa - the fanaloka (fossa fossana) I still get confused by books spelling the fossa I know as fosa and I'd love to see all those different Malagasy vangas. Would have thought more places would have had chameleons too.I'm going to have a busy weekend updating my website.

The African Barn Owl (T.a.affinis) is found in the extreme north of Africa, and most of the area south of the Sahara, including Madagascar, the Comoros, Zanzibar and Pemba Island.
Madagascar also has its own barn owl, the Madagascan Masked Owl (Tyto soumangei). Many more chameleons are kept but they are African ones, London has the European Chameleon also. Last edited by bongorob; 26-03-2008 at 09:21 AM. Reason: spelling |

Tropiquaria (Watchet) the Brown Lemurs here are actually White-fronted Lemurs.
The Tenrecs at Stapley were on show when i visited in Feb this year. |

Hi
According to Walsrode's curator, the blue-eyed ibis is a valid specie. It has enough genetical differences to be considered a full specie. Here's an updated Madagascar bird list for Walsrode : Giant coua (Coua gigas) currently backstage, to be put on exhibit this year Blue coua (Coua caerulea) Crested coua (Coua cristata) Madagascar fody (Foudia madagascariensis) Sickle-billed vanga (Falculea palliata) Long-tailed ground-roller (Uratelornis chimaera) Pitta-like ground-roller (Atelornis pittoides) Madagascar crested ibis (Lophotibis cristata) Cuckoo-roller (Leptosomus discolor) Madagascar turtle dove (Nesoenas picturata) Blue-eyed ibis (Threskiornis bernieri) Madagascar pond heron (Ardeola idae) Madagascar teal (Anas bernieri) Meller's duck (Anas melleri) and... a pair of ring-tailed mongoose (Galidia elegans elegans)! and probably some more I forgot... In Wuppertal zoo, you can find a pair of Reynaud's coua (Coua reynaudii). Koln zoo currently has Madagascar ibises, Fody's, crested and blue couas. And Mulhouse zoo has a wonderfull lemur collection including some very rare species (sifakas, white-collared, sclater's, mongoose lemurs and others...). Don't forget also to check berlin zoo's amazing collection including two mongoose species endemic from Madagascar... |

Red River Hog should count as a Madagascan species I believe, and they're housed at most major UK collections.

No, red river hog are found in Africa only; It is the bush pig that are found in Madagascar.
Susan, have you got the book, mammals of madagascar by Nick Garbutt? I saw it in Waterstones today, and it looks great (Also went to the museum and saw the Fiji banded iguanas!) |

No the book I've got is 'Madagascar wildlife - A Bradt travel guide' - I've seen the other book (at Chester Zoo I think) and it looks fab. My house is full of books if I but anymore I might have to get a tent and sleep outside! I've looked at a few sites and most seem to say the red river hog is the bush pig and that its found in Africa and Madagascar. I'm confused!

Ahhh, pigs, a problem!
Well, there are two species of bush pig: the bush pig, and the red river hog. They were, at one time thought to be the same species, but now, they are different. The book I read mentioned that the species in Madagascar is the Bush pig. There are two subspecies, but I'm not familiar with their names.

I have Nick Garbutt's book. He says there are two subspecies of bush pig in Madagascar, but only a few specimens have been examined and not all authorities agree. Potamochoerus larvatus larvatus is found on the west coast. It is smaller and redder than P. l. hova from the east coast, which is greyer.
The other subspecies are found in eastern and southern Africa. The red river hog is west African. Alan Alan
