No Lumholtz's tree kangaroos?

What a shame! You should have asked them about these ... (coming from afar I am sure they would have done something about it, especially as a staffer ....)
 
I was told that they are supposed to be back on show beginning of August.

And I did get to see them thanks to a nice keeper ;)

(Also saw a Tawny Frogmouth off-show.)
 
The Lumhotzl has been dead for years now. When are the new ones going on display? How many are there? Also some of the animals listed are wild so their is no guarantee on seeing them.

The second paragraph in the bird section is the only one that may contain wild birds. But since you can't tell by the signs what is kept and what is wild I just listed what I did see that is also on one of the signs.

I like it when zoos put up signage for the wild birds which can be seen on the grounds.

For what it's worth, the species from that paragraph which are part of the captive stock are Black Swan, Brolga, Australasian Darter, and Australian Pelican. All the rest seem to be solely wild species there.

I was told they were males. And at least one smelled like it too:D

Correct, I did a little surf searching lately - there is a separate tree kangaroo Australia thread somewhere - and found its stock is now 3.0 only.

It is very likely this may soon change - and hopefully so - that they might once more be a breeding / holding institution.

The red-legged pademelons are also the wild, and are attracted into the ground by the keepers leaving food out under the big fig tree near the Cassowaries.
