    A nice idea. I was trying to upload photos of Caluromys lanatus but unfortunately I can't get them small enough.

    There's one held in Batu Secret Zoo in Indonesia too, so that'll be another candidate ;)

    So is that eastern or western then?

    I think I'll have a couple of species to add to that list once I get back from Queensland :D

    So the signage at the park is wrong then?

    How do you differentiate the two species anyway?

    They have different numbers of toes, is the most obvious. The animals at Taronga were called bruijnii when they were at London Zoo (at that time all extant Zaglossus were bruijnii) but I think even by the time they first arrived at Taronga in 1994 they were known to be bartoni, even if it wasn't recognised as a full species yet. Certainly Taronga states them on their website, press releases, official records, etc as being bartoni - I don't know what their signage says though.

    The signage says bruijni. That's why I uploaded the pics as such (s. gallery pic).

    I was quite confused in Taronga which species it was, the signage says Z. bruijni, but with the distribution map of Z. bartoni... On the other hand, personally it doesn't matter. I've seen a Long-beaked Echidna, a very rare species, whether it was a Western or a Eastern one.

    @Aardvark Nice project! A couple of years ago I started something like this for myself, making a file with photographs of every zoo mammal species that I photographed. However, I didn't finish it. I might have photos of some other dasyurids native to the NT, but I'm not sure.

    The long-beaked echidnas were known to be bartoni during the years they were at London Zoo although, of course, bartoni was then considered to be a sub-species of bruijnii not a distinct species.

    In those days, the mammal labels at London Zoo only identified the species, not the sub-species. For example, the northern white rhino "Ben" was simply labelled as white rhinoceros with no indication he was the northern form.

    Similarly, the long-beaked echidnas were always labelled bruijnii following the then generally accepted taxonomy that there was only one species. However, even though not identified as such on the labels, they were always considered to be the bartoni sub-species and were referred to as such in some of the annual reports.
