    Hi, I've seen a number of threads about Species360's policies responding to requests from zoo enthusiasts/the public about holdings of species in ZIMS, although their policies seem to have varied quite a bit over the years and there hasn't been any information that I've seen in a while. Does anyone know what their current policies are?

    Separately, does anyone know if they are willing to give the current location of a specific individual? I can identify the animal I'm interested in by house name, (former) local ID, or studbook number. (If anyone has ZIMS access and is willing to do me a favor, I would greatly appreciate that too).

    Why don't you just email and ask them directly? Cut out the middleman.
