      Not the greatest photograph I am afraid, but in view of the subject I thought it was worth posting.

      A great shot of a great taxon, which I dearly wish was still around in collections.....
    • lowland anoa
      Yes, only 2 collections in Europe hold them.
    • Nanook
      Most definatly worth posting!

      Askaniya Nova and...? As far as I know, the ones at Moscow's breeding facility are no longer.

      Thank-you TLD and Nanook. It's still a bit blurry though! I remember taking this when I was going through a slides phase, although as indicated I cannot remember the exact year (but I did not get to Edinburgh from around 1978 to 1983).

      Would anyone one know whereabouts in the zoo they were kept, at a guess i would have said one of the paddocks at the top of the hill.
      Definitely worth posting, thank you @Parrotsandrew.
