    The device I used to take a picture of it broke last year. Online, there are a few jackal pictures, but I don't know if they are black-backed or side-striped.

    That's good to hear. I'm not sure if Denver was the only holder when I made the post, but they were the first and only zoo outside South America to hold them recently (2015) since Bronx's group that died in the 1990's.

    I thought Denver was the only place that held them, too, until I visited STl and FW in March, 2019. I didn't know they held them and was pleasantly surprised when I saw them. They looked different from what I saw on Animal Planet when I was ten. I've attached a photo from each place, STl and FW, in that order.
    Also, I didn't know the Bronx ever had those frogs, but I was wither a baby or not even born when they were there :p.

    As do Dallas and Atlanta, in addition to at least two other zoos that keep them behind the scenes.

    Does anyone know if the bearded sakis at Dallas World Aquarium & Omaha Zoo are the same subspecies?

    No. There is also a tiny place on Guam with Philippine brown deer.

    Philippine brown deer? I was talking about the bats. I just remembered my friend has an uncle who runs the Rota Zoo on the island of Rota. He said that the zoo there holds bats, but I'm not sure if that's correct or of the species since I haven't been there.
