Sinka Zoo - Sinkawang

2 Sumatran tigers escaped - one already shot..... :

Two Sumatran tigers escape Indonesian zoo, one shot dead

 

Well this is half-assed. Couldn't they sedate both tigers instead of killing one?
Sinka Zoo is a pretty bad zoo so I'm not surprised they treat their animals badly too

 

Unfortunate incident. I do believe since it is close to human population center that after tranquillisation failure shooting is the best option.

Have you any more info on Sinka wang Zoo in Pontianak? Animal collection, set up, plans or anything other?

 

Based on this video:


The collection include Bornean native species like gibbon, hornbill, owl, binturong, civet, whitsling duck, pheasant, eagle, and Asian arowana

Other species include ostrich, common or ring-necked pheasant, chicken, eclectus parrot, cassowary, peafowl, python, tiger, and lion

The zoo itself looks like Cihampelas Point if it entirely outdoor

 

I saw some of the aquariums has mixed freshwater and saltwater fishes. Are they out of their mind or something?

 

I guess they really believe that fish salt can make saltwater fish to live in a freshwater aquarium

 

This zoo acquired a female pygmy hippo Leny from Surabaya Zoo in August 2008.
Wonder what happened to the individual? Unsure how this would fit with their collection?

It be interesting to have a list of animals in the collection too.
