RE: INSULARIS
I have contacted the author of the "insularis" picture you linked. It was taken at the current raccon dog enclosure in Ostrava in 2002 or 2003. He could not tell me how he identified the name of the species, but he wrote me "then it is probably the racoon dog", so I think it is just a mislabeled PROCYON LOTOR (by the author, not by the zoo). I have checked annual reports of Ostrava from those years and they do not list any P. insularis. |

@Jana: Thanks a lot for Your efforts; I really appretiate it.
@MARK: Paris had the very last specimen, but it also already died. Recently, I stumbled about a quite interesting book: "The Secrets of the Blind Dolphins" by Girgio Pilleri. In this book, he describes what is most likely the first and only (more or less) successful ex-situ husbandry of the Indus River Dolphin (Platanista indicus minor) for a longer period of time. However, the place where the pair of dolphins were kept wasn't a zoo-but the cellar of Hirnanatomischen Institut der Psychiatrischen Universitatsklinik, Bern ("Institute of Brain Anatomy of the University Clinic of Psychiatry")...The photos and the description of their behaviour (they seem to always touch the bottom with one of their front fins...) are still amazing, even after 23 years. Amazon.com: pilleri Pilleri, Giorgio. "Ethology, Bioacoustics, and Behavior of Platanista indi in Captivity." Investigations on Cetacea VI (1976): 13–69. |

Regarding any zoos keep San Esteban Chuckwalla, I think Oklahoma City Zoo display them in their Islands exhibit, if I remeber correctly.
Does anyone know any zoos keep Helmeted Hornbills? |

Kuala lumpur zoo kept them in their bird nursery, and I believe Jurong bird park still keep the species (which may be off-show..)
Kota Kinabalu zoo may also keep the birds... |

@okapipr, yangz: Thanks. That bit about the Oklahoma City Zoo Island Exhibit was especially interesting-what other species (besides the ones mentioned on their HP) are also displayed in this part of the zoo?
