Marsupials in the United States

well that is sad but I am glad to know it. I have only been once and never could find them, so I am glad to know they were really gone and I didn't just miss them. Still, i am bummered they are not in states, as I've always wanted to see a dasyure.

I believe the last Tiger Quoll in the US was at Columbus and died sometime within the last decade.

As far as Dasyurids go, I think the closest to you will be the Tasmanian Devils at San Diego Zoo. At the moment, TD is the only Dasyurid in US zoos. A trip to England could provide you with three additional species in Tiger Quoll (Hamerton), Eastern Quoll (Bristol or Linton), and Kowari (Bristol).

Was reviewing the wombat list and noticed that bettong institutions looked a bit sparse. In addition to these I have confirmed the following:

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo
Gladys Porter Zoo
Lake Superior Zoo
Montgomery Zoo
Potawatomi Zoo

Additionally, the Catoctin Zoo in Maryland had this species a decade ago, but I can't find more recent confirmation than that.

Also of note: your list has 8 holders, not 7. With my additional listings, it should now be 13.
