      Is there any Jackals in United states zoos? This animal park is privately owned and not aza.

      I have never seen a jackal in an AZA zoo. They seem to be a commonly bred canine species in private collections. There was talk about a zoo in Co, not sure which zoo, getting a breeding pair. Not quite sure what happened but apparently there is a law in Co about the ownership of just jackals, and that you can't own them at all because of the coyote population.... thats all I heard.

      I think Oklahoma City had black-backed jackals, I could be wrong though. Kansas City had them, but not for a few years.

      Does anyone know if there's Brown Hyena in US zoos currently?
    • BeardsleyZooFan
      None in AZA institutions, that's for sure. Possibly, but unlikely some in private collections. Can anyone specify on this?

      Never seen a brown, or even a striped in the trade. Doubt that there is on in the U.S. Although, I do know of a couple of aardwolves in private collections. If there is aardwolves, one would think that a brown could easily pop up.

      What do you mean no striped hyenas in trade? Several faculties house them.

      Pacarana, im pretty sure your hometown zoo Denver has striped hyenas???:/

      Trade, as in private trade. I didn't know "trade" continued into AZA zoos. I have never heard of it in that way, only in the way of private individuals buying from other private breeders or exports. Search some forums a bit and its almost always used when referring to obtainability of wild caught specimens. AZA zoos do "trade" (verb) amongst each other but the "trade" (noun) , or what I have used for many years, refers to only private collections.
