    Well it's certainly a lot easier when you can simply open your garbage can and grab one :p

    I suppose so, but that's not what I meant and I'm pretty sure you knew that...! :p

    I was talking about the Latin American species that don't appear in Europe at all and if they do pop up then they seem to go pretty quickly due to short life spans.

    Zoos that I've been to with red or grey kangaroos include: Catoctin Wildlife Preserve & Zoo (red), Virginia Zoo (grey), Pittsburgh (grey), and Philadelphia zoos (red):

    The common opossum at the National Zoo is named Minnie.

    The National Zoo also has Bennett's wallabies and the Pittsburgh Zoo also has red kangaroos.

    Shell Factory Nature Park, that collection in Florida, still exhibits the species. I just got an email from them confirming that.

    Does the Houston Zoo not hold Common Wombat anymore? Also Toronto should hold Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat.

    Also might be worth mentioning that Santa Barbara, Toledo, and Lowry Park are only holding koalas temporarily (unless any of those are permanent additions...?).

    Miller Park, Metro Richmond, San Francisco, Sedgwick County, and Louisville have Common Wallaroo.

    Louisville has Bennett's/Red-necked Wallaby.

    Toronto and Birmingham have Brush-tailed Bettong. Lake Superior (Duluth, MN) is listed as being part of the SSP but doesn't list them being on exhibit.

    Gladys Porter, Toronto, and San Antonio have Matschie's Tree Kangaroo.

    I think Toledo has them permanently. What koala subspecies are in US Zoos?

    Aquarium of the Pacific should have a ringtail possum as an education animal.

    I didn't see any wombat at Houston in 2018.

    Lowry Park had Koalas when I visited in 2013 so if they still do I think it's fair to suggest they're not temporary.

    Queensland.

    Okay, looks like Santa Barbara is the only one keeping them on temporary loan then.

    regarding dasyures, are there still kultarr at Alice Springs and tiger quoll at Smithsonian National Zoo?

    Does North Carolina State have common opossum?

    the following TX zoos supposedly have (or had) grey short tailed opossum though I can't confirm for zoos I have not visited this year (should make it to Dallas soon, and I kinda dread visiting a creationist institution but I might go to Kingdom Zoo if necessary to add this to my lifelist). I've been to Ft Worth and Houston recently and did not see, but perhaps these are off-exhibit "animal ambassadors" or Zoo School animals?
    Dallas
    El Paso
    Ft Worth
    Houston
    Pinehurst "Kingdom Zoo"
