Are These in Captivity?

Neither still hold.

 

Have these been in captivity?
Deep sea pram bug
Copper shark
Hose's civet
Commerce's dolphin
Mugger crocodile
Pebble toad
Demidoff's bushbaby
Flapjack octopus
Giraffe necked weaval
Sri lanka tree crab

 

I know. I said, (At one point)

Nashville, Forth Worth. One odd and possibly worrying thing about the captive population is that none of the animals bred in captivity have actually grown to adult size. They're all healthy and they reproduce just fine, but they're all dwarfs!

Commerson's Dolphin? Aquatica in Orlando still has a few I believe.

Mugger are around here and there, though the only place in the US I know for sure has them is St. Augustine.

That explains why they were so small when I saw them at Detroit, then. Does anyone know what caused this?

 

I think a few Commerson's Dolphin in Japan as well?

Flapjack Octopus has been kept by Monterey Bay Aquarium once or twice, maybe one of the Japanese deep-sea aquariums has as well?

I recall hearing Giraffe-necked Weevils don't do well in captivity, I don't recall why that was though.

 

Copper shark is at Otaru Aquarium and Port of Nagoya Aquarium in Japan. Possibly also at Kelly Tarlton’s in New Zealand.

 

Are these in captivity:

1) Portuguese man-o'-war
2) Box jellyfish
3) Potoo
4) Oilbird
5) Any nightjar, really
6) Southern Chinese giant salamander
7) The new species of electric eels
8) Suwanee aligator snapping turtle

6,7, and 8 are probably kept, but because they were recently split from existing species, I don't think anyone's particularly identified zoo specimens as being these newly split species.

 

2) Yes, in the laboratory tanks of Prof. Jamie Seymour at the James Cook University.

 

If you mean Commerson's dolphin they are held in Toba Aquarium.
Flapjack octopus is held in Numazu deep sea aquarium and in some other Japanese aquarium.

 

I saw a turtle signed as this at Alligator Alley, but it was probably just a regular Alligator Snapping Turtle.

 

How can you figure that?

 

What about hose's palm civets? I know they are pretty elusive, but I wonder if they are in some asian zoo. According to zooterliste they were originally kept at Antwerpen zoo for a while.

 

A few more animals to add to the list:
African black bellied pangolin
Woodlark cuscus
Niligiri marten
Bloody belly comb jelly
Firefly squid
Blue button (Siphonophore)
Giant freshwater stingray
Kayan river slow loris

 

Demidoff's Bushbaby I'm pretty sure used to be in the pet trade, and certainly in zoos.

 

In Madagascar they feed on leaves of one particular tall bush/small tree, which is quite common, as are the weevils. Growing a whole tree for a little insect might be a hassle, so I guess a botanist would need to be consulted to find a related foreign tree.

 

Because there aren't any others in captivity.

 

Giant freshwater stingray is at Singapore River Safari, and the aquarium in Bangkok, I think.
