After seeing that the not-so-good Pata zoo have banded linsang,I start to wonder.What zoo in the world have(or had) linsang in captivity?Some zoo in europe hold them before(frankfurt for both linsang,Halle for spotted and rotterdam and Wassenaar for banded).Are there any held in USA (except for SD safari park which I know held them before)?And any zoo in Asia hold them now?
Not the best photo I have ever taken, by a long chalk. Details in the Comments. Banded linsang by gentle lemur posted 24 Dec 2015 at 9:59 AM
A search in google reveal this from the book "Longevity of mammals in captivity".So...probably yes but I can't search anything more about it.
Richard Weigl’s book Longevity of Mammals in Captivity (2005) lists the longevity record for a West African linsang Poiana richardsonii as five years and eight months for an animal that lived in Berlin Zoo from 4th August 1912 until 9th April 1918.
But is it the best picture you have ever taken by a camera? It is one of my favourite uploads in the gallery.
click on the space up on the word.I post a image of it but sadly it couldn't show so I put a URL on it.
Sorry. I noticed that you posted:- A search in google reveal this from the book "Longevity of mammals in captivity".So...probably yes but I can't search anything more about it. Hovever your post didn't actually supply any details.
African linsangs have been kept in Berlin Zoo and London Zoo. Taiping Zoo used to have banded linsang. Avilon Zoo had a spotted or banded linsang.
Browsing through Google Images at linsangs in captivity I see photos of banded linsangs from Pata Zoo, Taiping Zoo, Avilon Zoo, San Diego Wild Animal Park, and others (often mislabelled as spotted linsang), and actual spotted linsang from Korat Zoo. But does anyone have any clue about the location of the animal on this link (other than useless guesses like "probably a private collection in Russia")? I saw the photo series first on a Russian site but the information on the page gave no location (it was basically encyclopaedia information). Now I can only find the series on the following link. Banded linsang (Found the Russian link - seems to just be a Russian version of the English one I linked above, but it has a whole lot of text in addition: Полосатый линсанг) And this one from Youtube? (This might be Avilon because it is labelled as being a spotted linsang, which is what Avilon had their banded linsang labelled as being).
The Russian text talks about linsangs in general, but unfortunately does not say where the photos were taken at...
