it's strange there are only two groups nowadays in Uk, whereas there are plenty in European Zoos. Other Uk zoos which have kept them in the past include; Bristol, Twycross, Dudley(female of mixed race pair), London, also Belle Vue, Flamingo Park and Colchester(all the same animal!) also Edinburgh who achieved the first Uk breeding in the 1930's with a Sumatran pair 'Mickey & 'Minnie'. I would love to see them in a few more of our zoos as they are very different to Borneans- much more active in behaviour.
