    I was actually wondering why more zoos outside of the Southwest don't keep them if they used to range all over, but that's very interesting information. Thanks for sharing it!

    I think the slow breeding rate has slowed spread rate as well, the population has been growing but not enough to fuel a steady spread yet.

    I've wondered that myself.
