Such a pity about the Aye-Ayes. I was lucky enough to observe both of them Frolicking about at Cincinnati.
I have always wanted to see a Cacomsticle! (Not to be confused with Bassariscus astutus, the Ringtail). I have seen those.
Lol!! Haha. I have always considered Bassariscus sumichrasti being called Cacomsticles and Bassariscus astutus being called Ringtails. So I always figured people talking about an animal called the Cacomsticle to be talking about Bassariscus sumichrasti.
I went back to the Maryland Zoo (finally!) today and the grizzly bears weren’t out, neither were the blue duikers in the African Aviary, or the Kirk’s Dik Dik. Plus side is that the new Colobus Trail showed how it put colobus in the name and the baby chimp was out. I’ll post media of her after this.
I know, but the male would be on exhibit. Also, that's the younger baby, and the older one could be on exhibit.
Surely you could use your powers of time travel to rectify this problem, though? I mean, your first visit to Cincinatti presumably came in late 2015 or early 2016 if you missed Harapan that narrowly..... but you must have access to time travel, if you also visited Cincinnati in 2001 as a 9-year-old and saw a pampas cat?
Notothens at the Tokyo Sea Life Park. I was under time pressure and was rushing to see everything, and ended up walking straight past the tank without noticing.
Has this been confirmed at all? I know the zoo's plan for the children's zoo includes pangolins but lots of animals are included on wishlists for new exhibits. There aren't many pangolins in US zoos and very little breeding has taken place. While I do not doubt San Diego's influence, I'm not sure if there are any pangolins to spare for them atm. While that tends to be the case, technically speaking "cacomistle" is the name for the genus, and therefore both species are cacomistle. Personally I've never liked the name "Ringtail", it's too vague. "Ringtail" could apply to a number of ring-tailed mammals, at least a couple of which are other carnivores. I've personally taken to calling B. astutus Ring-Tailed Cacomistle as a result, with B. sumichrasti being the Central American Cacomistle. Of course, all the cacomistle in captivity within the US and Europe are all the ring-tailed species with Memphis' last CA dying at the end of 2018 iirc. I have seen at least a couple zoos in the US refer to Ringtails as cacomistle as well. ~Thylo
Just reread the first post, but I'm 100% sure that you missing Panay Cloudrunners definitely hurts more than Sumatran Rhinos!
Definitely, the 6 at Plzen are the last ones in captivity, and there's a possible that they are extinct in the wild. Oh and, the 6 at Plzen (iirc) are geriatric?
Wow, very interesting, however their is no Sumatran rhinos left in zoos, and they are only very little populations left
