    I’m not so sure they’re exporting. Fort Wayne, at least, says that they were approved for export years ago but are being held up by pandemic restrictions.

    I'm actually not that surprised that Schweppes was moved at 5 years old. That is because I visited Toledo Zoo in June, and I found out that male Nugget is alive at 10 years old, and he is the oldest Tasmanian Devil in North America. Nugget has two younger companions born around 2017, but I don't remember their names or genders. Orchid and Tatiana both passed away before November 2018.

    According to @pachyderm pro in the Los Angeles Thread, both Tasmanian Devils at Los Angeles Zoo have passed away.

    I appreciate you giving credit, but those individuals passed several years ago and were never listed on this thread. ;)

    Are there any Devils left in San Diego? I saw in the news thread that they might no longer be at that zoo.

    ABQ and Toledo's devils and Thyme at Columbus are the last remaining devils in North America right now then, yes?

    Neither ABQ nor Columbus has Tasmanian Devils any longer.
    See ZOOTIERLISTE (Former Holdings) for details.

    Thank you. I tried to look into Columbus and all the links discussed Thyme's predecessors but not Thyme so thought I was wrong in thinking the individual had passed. I knew better at first about Albuquerque and second guessed. Looks like the US population may die out before any imports take place.
