Only four collections have this species in the US.
Yes, considering there are no holders in Europe and only one in North America.
And now that I've thought about these, that's two more on my list.
Animals You've Seen That Few Zoochatters Have Seen

There will be more than four as they seem to be a bit more common amongst roadside zoos, rescue centers, and private bear keepers, but yeah they're still pretty rare.

the kodiak bear is the one from orsa björn park rigth. i have sen i but i was some time ago
What roadside zoos?
These are the four holders I was thinking of: Wildwood Zoo, Toledo, Alaska, Space Farms.
Well Space Farms is pretty much a roadside zoo. I don't know which other specifically but Space Farms got them from another, as did the private rescue center Orphan Wildlife in NY (which also one of the few places that keeps Syrian Brown Bear). Space Farms also bred their Kodiaks with the intention of selling them to other zoos. I said "seems to be" because I do not know for certain, but they certainly appear to be a bit more present than one would initially think, but still not common by any means and maybe not present much at all in the actual zoo world.

I am one of the few unfortunate ZooChatters to have spotted the rarest and more feared beast of them all: Rob's knees
Are these normally indoors? They were both outside on my visit.

And mine.
What is this whole thing with knees? I've seen it referenced elsewhere on this site...I am one of the few unfortunate ZooChatters to have spotted the rarest and more feared beast of them all: Rob's knees

When it gets warm out, Rob likes to wear shorts to zoos. These shorts expose his knees. You do not want Rob's knees exposed
~Thylo
Knees represent a pair of joints found in the leg, connecting the femur and tibia, and the femur and patella.
The foot bone's connected to the- leg bone. The bone's connected to the- knee bone. The knee bone's connected to the- thigh bone. Doing the skeleton dance!

I just wondered because they were the only ones I’d ever seen outside.I am one of the few unfortunate ZooChatters to have spotted the rarest and more feared beast of them all: Rob's knees

~Thylo
They aren't common, but there would be a lot of Zoochatters who have seen them because a lot of Zoochatters have been to Singapore, plus there were some in the Netherlands until recently.
None in Europe now, none in America, only zoorasia and Chimelong outside of South East Asia.
Ueno keeps them, right? Or is it another Japanese collection?
Zoorasia is in Yokohama, Japan.
Older zoochatters will remember Proboscis also at Twycross, Frankfurt and (I think it was) Basel(?) zoos in earlier decades too
