How many dholes are in U.S zoos since the Bronx Zoo became one of the few zoos to exhibit them in the U.S as of October 15, 2019?

@Matthew Guimac I do not know how many are currently in the US, however I do know Bronx has become the 5th US zoo to keep the species. The others are San Diego, Miami, The Wilds, and Minnesota. Bronx's three males came from San Diego.

@ThylacineAlive Will the dholes eventually go through a breeding recommendation by the AZA since that they are classified as endangered at the Bronx Zoo?

@Matthew Guimac I have no idea what the AZA is going to recommend though the most collections which pick up the species the more likely the AZA will want an official program organized.
