For the UK I have: Colchester, Chessington, Exmoor, Hamerton Park, Port Lympne, Drusillas and Longleat. And now Edinburgh

Europes harder, I've only found Prague and Burgers zoo.

Hi ChrissySalem, welcome to zoochat.

You can add Belfast and Linton to your list.

Zootierliste's list of European zoos with binturong is really quite long.

Don't think Belfast do any shows,so they are just off-show hence the zoo not saying they have them on the website.
