    Indian pangolins are as follows according to the Central Zoo Authority of India (March 2018):
    Assam State Zoo sent their 3 somewhere (i forgot thesex)
    Nandankanan Biological Park keeps 7 (i forgot the sex)
    4 males and a female at Kandaleru Deer Park
    so 11-14 in total as of 2018

    They are only found in SA zoos and they can be found In quite a few of them. Just search pictures on zoochat.

    That plan is to obtain a few for the upcoming Children's Zoo, but currently SDZ has no pangolins.

    They only had one off-show for a long time, but it dies years ago.

    There are two species that I have never heard about or seen in captivity. The Aardwolf and Thorny Devil Lizard. Is their elusiveness due to their diets of termites, and other small insects or something else?

    If you use the search function on this site, you will find plenty references on when and where these species are/were kept. Both are currently present in a few institutions.

    And also more than a few photos of both species in the galleries.

    For the Thorny Devil (Moloch) they are only kept in Australian collections. Most of the photos are from the Melbourne Museum.

    For the Aardwolf, the species is kept in several European collections - Zootierliste will help with that.

    ok. So i think it's just Cincy. Almaty Zoo in Kazakhstan and Grodno in Belarus should still have, even though they are not on ZTL. It's just Cincinnati in the New World with Aardwolf?

    They are both on former holdings in zootierliste, what is your source that they should still have them, as the problem of ZTL is normally not the former holdings.

    Zooinstitutes for the latter just a few months ago. You might be right about Almaty though.
