    It is clear that anything Sebbe or whatever his name is now should be taken with a (BIG!!!) pinch of salt but the Tenkile Conservation Alliance species list in first post roughly matches what I've been told elsewhere. Most of the animals that are brought to them are only kept until they can be released back into the wild. The ones they keep are mostly animals that can't easily be released. They used to have a photo of the black-spotted cuscus on the page but I can't find it now. There's still a cool photo of a shovel-beaked kookaburra in photo section April 2009. The Tenkile Conservation Alliance should be applauded for the work they do. Not a lot of conservationists working actively in the unique Torricelli mountains.
