    What other zoos have the small, rare, nocturnal primate called the potto? And are there any photos of the exhibits?

    I've only ever seen pottos at London Zoo.

    London, I believe, has either 2.1 or 1.2 potto, and I was informed by keepers they have bred relatively recently. Got some nice photos of the pottos during my visit on Sunday, but I suspect that Moebelle only wants US enclosure photos.

    I don't think the Lemur Center has them.
