Only Long-Nosed Potoroos in USA

2/14/16

That surprised me, the last ones?

Yes, unless another zoo has picked them up recently that I don't know about. We seem to be going for bettongs rather than these potoroos.

Where in the zoo is this? Does Gladys Porter have a nocturnal exhibit?

They’re in the “Australia House” which is mostly a nocturnal house. Some of the other species kept in there are echidna and tree kangaroo.

I didn't know this species was so rare in the USA.
