    Despite the signage, the birds they keep / kept will be Magnificent Riflebirds. The only way they could have Victoria's Riflebirds is if they were smuggled birds.

    Nope, I had a google but couldn't find even any photos.

    However Victoria's Riflebirds are endemic to Queensland, they are not kept in captivity in Australia, and there is (literally!) zero chance of wild-caught Victoria's Riflebirds being legally exported from Australia to this zoo.

    Them being smuggled birds seems pretty unlikely, so Magnificent Riflebird is the default option given that they are kept in Indonesian zoos and that Indonesian zoos are not always accurate in their signage determinations.

    It seems like LPZ have a pair of brown hyena instead of just one, I'm curious of where they acquired this species. Although not as special as a brown hyena, LPZ acquired the onagadori, a long-tailed chicken from the Japanese island of Shikoku.

    The picture they post only shows one specimen, but Indonesian zoos generally keep three or more muntjac (Or any other local deers) in one exhibit.

    LPZ's pair of Sumatran elephants finally arrived. Their exhibit is honestly the best elephant exhibit in Indonesia, no cement just grass and soil. One of the elephant is a 29 years old named Cindy. They didn't post much information about the elephants.

    What's left to add for LPZ are:
    • West African giraffe
    • Bornean orangutan
    • Southern African lion (white morph)
    • Siberian tiger
    • American flamingo
    Apparently the Suffolk Sheep plan was scrapped and replaced with Merino Sheeps from Farmhouse. I'll see if I can find the post with it.

    I could not quite discern from the feature article if the 2 cow Sumatran elephants came from Taman Safari Bali or the Bali Zoo, allthough I presume the former is more likely. Do you know what the long term or future plans are with elephants at Lembang? Do they plan to create a breeding program with these 2 cows as basis for a matriarchal family group?

    The article also alludes to their ambition to acquire desert fox (anjing padang gurun) and tree kangaroo (kangaruh pohon)!


    FYI: TS Bali maintains 31+ Sumatrans (the last available figures are 31 with 3 births - I figure that number may be incomplete/incorrect and 7.21 individuals originally imported from Way Kambas around 1997). Further, Bali Zoo reportedly holds 4 elephants (of origins unknown ...).
