    I go for Duisburg. They had a forest elephant back in the 80ies. I know there aren't any forest elephants left in Europe, but in Japan there are still some. Maybe there?

    What was the first zoo to breed a Sumatran rhinoceros?

    And what was unusual about the offspring?

    Too easy.

    Indeed; born in Alipore Zoo, Calcutta in 1889.

    The father was a Dicerorhinus sumatrensis sumatrensis; the mother a
    Dicerorhinus sumatrensis lasiotis

    it's been mentioned a few times in Sumatran Rhino threads, so I was lucky really.

    My question:

    The so-called False Potto Pseudopotto martini is known from only two museum specimens. One of these (the holotype) was originally living in which zoo?
