A trip to Hartley's on the weekend has confirmed that they have Cotton top Tamarins. Confirmed with staff member that they do not have Golden Lion Tamarin.

 

Interesting...Thank you for confirming a suspicion I had, that the article just used a random image of any tamarin.

 

Also Wildife HQ has 2 called Rio and Muppet.

 

What zoo/s were the dholes at?

 

Golden lion tamarins

 

Oh ok I didn’t see it.

 

The Cape Porcupines at Perth have bred for the first time (source Perth Zoo Facebook)

 

That’s good news, I hope this species continues to establish itself in Australia.

 

Zoodoo Zoo has received two male servals.
Zoodoo Zoo - Richmond Tasmania

 

Are they the ones from Altina?

 

Yes, seems like it.

 

Adelaide Zoo is home to a binturong again following the arrival of a young male from Perth Zoo.

I believe they were imported from Africa!

 

No

I just checked they are def the ones from Altina.

 

I understand this is not the case and Adelaide have not received a Binturong yet. I believe Perth have amended the statement they made.
