Anyone know the status of Indian Crested Porcupines in Australian zoos? I remember seeing them at Adelaide Zoo years ago, and then last time I went they were no longer there. They would make a fascinating exhibit!!

Two at Melburne Zoo and one left at Taronga. The species is being phased out in favour of African Crested Porcupine.
