Uh-oh! The beginning or the end of a late push?
Sadly I fear it's both the beginning and the end!

Sadly I fear it's both the beginning and the end!
29 October
Bristol Zoo
82 S. American Fur Seal - Arctocephalus australis
No idea where the next one will come from, not a lot left in the UK to get, places I haven't been to this year where I might add a few are either closed (Axe Valley), unsuitable (Port Lympne), or too far away (Exmoor, Shaldon) for me to visit in December!
Friends invited me today for a suprise zoo-visit and went with me ( and my wife ) to Zoo Parc Overloon. A nice collection which I hadn't visited for several years and with 2 species still missing on my 2018-carnivore list !
The first of them is not kept at any collection I already had visited this year, the other at 2 collections but I missed it both at Planckendael and at Zie-Zoo :
64 ) Crab-eating raccoon - Procyon cancrivorus ( see Crab-eating raccoon | ZooChat )
65 ) Bush dog - Speothos venaticus ( see Bush dog | ZooChat )
By visiting Landgoed Hoenderdaell I had hoped to add 1 more species to the 2018-list because I knew they are the only public collection with Cougars in the Netherlands but it even came better. A second species - not mentioned on Zootierliste - is also kept and I was able to see it so I can add 2 new species to the list :
66 ) Cougar - Puma concolor ( see Cougar | ZooChat )
67 ) Red fox - Vulpes vulpes ( see Red fox | ZooChat )
Probably my last push......

You do have two North American carnivores I've never seen, though!

Which 2??
Are Bronx's spotted skunks Eastern or Western, by the way?
Bronx always labeled them as Eastern but it turned out they are Western and the sign simply says "spotted skunk" now. There's only one left I think.

My first few points since August! Probably my last few, too...

American Minks are rare.
This surprises me. I guess it must be one of those animals that's just locally common in WI (just like American Badgers).
American Minks are rare.
They aren't rare, just very elusive - for instance, until I saw the American Mink at Five Sisters I had never seen one myself despite the species being common and invasive in the United Kingdom
A few updates from the last months, with just as many no shows (Jaguar, striped skunk and Geoffrey's cat) as new additions:
Belfast Zoo
73. Spotted-necked otter
74. Fossa
Dierenpark Amersfoort
75. European badger
I saw American mink at New Forest about 10 years ago, no luck at British Nature Centre for this year's challenge though !!They aren't rare, just very elusive - for instance, until I saw the American Mink at Five Sisters I had never seen one myself despite the species being common and invasive in the United Kingdom
A tiny extra push - but certainly my last for the year.

One more zoo visit this year, but which one is yet undecided.
I'm somewhat disappointed with my tally this year - Many of the zoos visited (not featured on the list) held species I had seen before, there were many no shows, and I was not able to visit enough zoos!
