    Yesterday spend a nice day at Zoo Krefeld and can add some more carnivores to my ( short ) 2018-list :
    7) Red panda - Ailurus fulgens ( see Red panda | ZooChat )
    8 ) Bat-eared fox - Otocyon megalotis ( see Bat-eared fox | ZooChat )
    9 ) Cheetah - Acinonyx jubatus ( see Cheetah | ZooChat )
    10 ) Californian sea-lion - Zalophus californianus ( see Californian sea-lion | ZooChat )
    11 ) Jaguarundi - Puma yagouaroundi ( see Jaguarundi | ZooChat )
    12 ) Jaguar - Panthera onca ( see Jaguar | ZooChat )
    13 ) Snow leopard - Panthera uncia ( see Snow leopard | ZooChat )

    From the other carnivores kept I only saw 2 servals ( which I already had seen at another collection ) but failed to find the Meerkats ( ;( ) - which I also already had seen earlier in 2018 - and the Eurasian otters which had been a new species for me in 2018.
    The beautifull Sumatra tiger-enclosure was also empty but this was because Krefelds last specimen died for 2 months ( would also have been a new one for my list ).

    Procyonidae (2/18)

    Interestingly I've had 16 no-shows in this challenge, due to some species being nocturnal, hibernating, or exhibits closed off, or the animal simply not deciding to be visible. I've got a running list of these, I'd managed to miss coati at 4 places before actually seeing one!

    Went today to Faunapark Flakkee - the Netherlands, a very small but also very nice park with a nice collection. 11 carnivore-species for such a small park is not bad and some of them are really rare ones in captivity ( esp. the Jungle cat - only one in the Netherlands - and Cape genet - also only one(s? ) in the Netherlands ).
    14 ) Tayra - Eira barbara ( see Tayra's | ZooChat )
    15 ) Corsac fox - Vulpes corsac ( see Corsac fox | ZooChat )
    16 ) Yellow mongoose - Cynictis penicillata ( see Yellow mongoose | ZooChat )
    17 ) Raccoon dog - Nyctereutes procyonoides ( see Raccoon dog | ZooChat )
    18 ) Ring-tailed coati - Nasua nasua ( see Ring-tailed coati | ZooChat )
    19 ) Cape genet - Genetta tigrina ( see Cape genet | ZooChat )
    20 Jungle cat - Felix chaus ( see Jungle cat .... sleeping :( | ZooChat

    The other species kept at the park ( Skunk, Meerkat and Serval ) I had already seen earlier this year at other collections and one I think doesn't count because its some kind of domestic ( silver fox ).
