Ring-tailed Mongoose at Koeln 12/05/09

Galidia elegans

Saw a picture of these in the berlin gallery as well and it got me wondering how common they were in German (or European zoos)?

Not very but this was the second time i`ve seen this species the first was at Vogelpark Walsrode.

They're not common in captivity at all, can't give you numbers though.
I need to go to Cologne someday.

okay thanks zoogiraffe and ashley

About the mongooses why not check the Zootierliste?

Thanks Toddy, I forgot about zootierliste.

Such a great shot as charismatic as a lion !
