I'm trying to compose a full species list of the "Kleine Zoogdierenhuis" (Small Mammal House) of Artis, which was opened in 1977.

Southern tree-banded armadillo

Afrotheres
Short-eared elephant-shrew
Lesser hedgehog tenrec

Carnivores
Fossa
Binturong
Meerkat
Dwarf mongoose
Ocelot

Does anyone has any additions to it, especially of species kept in the first decade (1977-1987) of its existence?
 
Are you making a list of current species or a list of what has ever been housed in there? Cause that isn't really clear

Species kept from 1977 till now, see my question to the Zoochat community below the list. If you look at the list above, it's clearly not a list of current species.
 
I remember seeing Short-beaked Echidna and Large Hairy Armadillo during my visit in 1992.

Maybe a late response, but I remember seeing crested partridges in the large middle enclosure around 2010-2013.

2 species missing on the list :

- Collared hill patridge - Arborophila gingica - was signed Feb. 2016 as living in the large middle enclosure with the Ring-tailed lemurs ( I didn't see them however )
- In the same enclosure on the same visit a large Cane toad seen - it was however not signed. I had uploaded a photo of this one in the Gallery but it seem to be deleted :(.
 
Thanks, Jurassic Max

In addition to AWP's list the following species were in the Small Mammal House in 2008
Roul-roul partridge (as remembered by Jurassic Max)
Golden agouti
Chinchilla
Little mouse lemur (Microcebus myoxinus)

I forgot the partridge, but the other three species are on my list. Never mind, thanks for your help.
