Visited today the first collection this year which keeps carnivores so I'm in :)
Oliemeulen Feb. 18 2018 :
1 ) Meerkat - Suricata suricatta
2 ) Dwarf mongoose - Helogale parvula
3 ) Serval - Leptailurus serval
4 ) Striped skunk - Mephitis mephitis
5 ) Ocelot - Leopardus pardalis
6 ) Caracal - Caracal caracal


Yesterday spend a nice day at Zoo Krefeld and can add some more carnivores to my ( short ) 2018-list :
7) Red panda - Ailurus fulgens ( see Red panda | ZooChat )
8 ) Bat-eared fox - Otocyon megalotis ( see Bat-eared fox | ZooChat )
9 ) Cheetah - Acinonyx jubatus ( see Cheetah | ZooChat )
10 ) Californian sea-lion - Zalophus californianus ( see Californian sea-lion | ZooChat )
11 ) Jaguarundi - Puma yagouaroundi ( see Jaguarundi | ZooChat )
12 ) Jaguar - Panthera onca ( see Jaguar | ZooChat )
13 ) Snow leopard - Panthera uncia ( see Snow leopard | ZooChat )

From the other carnivores kept I only saw 2 servals ( which I already had seen at another collection ) but failed to find the Meerkats ( ;( ) - which I also already had seen earlier in 2018 - and the Eurasian otters which had been a new species for me in 2018.
The beautifull Sumatra tiger-enclosure was also empty but this was because Krefelds last specimen died for 2 months ( would also have been a new one for my list ).

Interestingly I've had 16 no-shows in this challenge, due to some species being nocturnal, hibernating, or exhibits closed off, or the animal simply not deciding to be visible. I've got a running list of these, I'd managed to miss coati at 4 places before actually seeing one!

Yesterday spend a nice day at Zoo Krefeld and can add some more carnivores to my ( short ) 2018-list :
7) Red panda - Ailurus fulgens ( see Red panda | ZooChat )
8 ) Bat-eared fox - Otocyon megalotis ( see Bat-eared fox | ZooChat )
9 ) Cheetah - Acinonyx jubatus ( see Cheetah | ZooChat )
10 ) Californian sea-lion - Zalophus californianus ( see Californian sea-lion | ZooChat )
11 ) Jaguarundi - Puma yagouaroundi ( see Jaguarundi | ZooChat )
12 ) Jaguar - Panthera onca ( see Jaguar | ZooChat )
13 ) Snow leopard - Panthera uncia ( see Snow leopard | ZooChat )

From the other carnivores kept I only saw 2 servals ( which I already had seen at another collection ) but failed to find the Meerkats ( ;( ) - which I also already had seen earlier in 2018 - and the Eurasian otters which had been a new species for me in 2018.
The beautifull Sumatra tiger-enclosure was also empty but this was because Krefelds last specimen died for 2 months ( would also have been a new one for my list ).


Went today to Faunapark Flakkee - the Netherlands, a very small but also very nice park with a nice collection. 11 carnivore-species for such a small park is not bad and some of them are really rare ones in captivity ( esp. the Jungle cat - only one in the Netherlands - and Cape genet - also only one(s? ) in the Netherlands ).
14 ) Tayra - Eira barbara ( see Tayra's | ZooChat )
15 ) Corsac fox - Vulpes corsac ( see Corsac fox | ZooChat )
16 ) Yellow mongoose - Cynictis penicillata ( see Yellow mongoose | ZooChat )
17 ) Raccoon dog - Nyctereutes procyonoides ( see Raccoon dog | ZooChat )
18 ) Ring-tailed coati - Nasua nasua ( see Ring-tailed coati | ZooChat )
19 ) Cape genet - Genetta tigrina ( see Cape genet | ZooChat )
20 Jungle cat - Felix chaus ( see Jungle cat .... sleeping :( | ZooChat

The other species kept at the park ( Skunk, Meerkat and Serval ) I had already seen earlier this year at other collections and one I think doesn't count because its some kind of domestic ( silver fox ).
