    Apparently the "anjing padang gurun" is the Prairie Dog and the "kangguru pohon" is the Grizzled Tree Kangaroo. Both species are displayed at LPZ.

    The elephants came from Bali's BKSDA due to the population of the elephants at the conservation center there exceed capacity.

    Siberian tigers in an outdoor enclosure in an Indonesian zoo? Hmh. Wouldn't it make more sense to exhibit Sumatran tigers instead? I'm not entirely against keeping animals from a different climate zone, as far as they can be kept appropriately species wise. But in this case is seems to be kind of.... weird.

    Batu Secret Zoo had Siberian tigers back in 2014, and Lembang's climate is good for Siberian tigers since the montane air emulated their natural habitat.

    The entire arc mountain range from Bogor east over the central part of the island has a more subdued tropical climate.

    Lembang Park and Zoo acquired the peregrine falcon (Ernesti subspesies), kind of curious of where Faunaland and LPZ acquired this species, could probably be from BKSDA.

    They actually have a pair. Apparently, the pair, including the zoo's white lions, was originally bought as a pet when they were a baby, but arrived late as COVID-19 cases rises and flight schedules were postponed. So, when they arrived, they're already too big for the buyer to keep, so he/she gave it to the zoo. Atleast the cheetah can live in a somewhat nicer life in the zoo and hopefully breed if they were different sexes, but judging on how they were used for private photoshoots by the zoo, their life would be no different than the ones that do ended up in someone's estate.

    I would say they have close contacts yo South African wildlife traders, allthough I find the trade in Brown hyena a little peculiar given their threatened status in the wild! Same goes for some of the larger African Carnivora.

    Koko was actually Sumatran rather than Bornean. I'm guessing he came from Taman Safari Bogor or maybe straight from Sumatran zoos.
