    What is the source for this species being kept?

    My experiences. I used to frequent TSI back before the pandemic, but I took a long hiatus from visiting TSI from 2014-2017.
    TSI used to house them at Kampung Papua back in 2008-2011, but since 2013 they were taken off-display. The same exhibit used to exhibited White-banded dorcopsis as well, but the dorcopsis only lasted a year.

    Taman Safari Bogor also houses sugar gliders, agile wallaby, and Sulawesi dwarf cuscus.

    Faunaland keep black-spotted cuscus. Not sure what happened to their albino cuscus.

    Batu Secret Zoo also keep sugar glider, agile wallaby, Sulawesi dwarf and ornate cuscus, and Western long-beaked echidna.

    Taman Safari Prigen used to keep several red kangaroos in the original Australia exhibit.

    Just found some updates according to my memory and photos from Joel Sartore and BioLib
    • TSI has two Dorcopsis species currently on exhibit: Dorcopsis muelleri and Dorcopsis luctuosa. They're mixed with the Dusky Pademelons, and they're pretty hard to spot. Dorcopsis hageni is no longer exhibited.
    • TSI used to had Goodfellow's tree-kangaroo back in 2013-2018, replacing the dingiso.

    Do you have any photos of the animals? I'm sceptical of the claim.

    Can you post it on the Taman Safari Bogor gallery?

    Ragunan Zoo keep a couple of wallaro (Osphranter robustus), not sure if they still keep this species.

    TBH it's kinda hard to distinguish between wallaroos, wallabies, pademelons and dorcopsis
