Mogo Wildlife Park recently did a binturong livestream on NSW's Department of Education Facebook page mentioning that they have two Binturong currently – male Baru and female Daisy. The zoo recently built a raceway between the two adjacent exhibits in the hopes to establish another breeding pair for Australia. They are hoping for breeding success around late 2021/early 2022.
@WhistlingKite24 That would be great if they did have breeding success. The Binturong I saw there in Jan '17, Nov '15 and April '14 seemed pretty happy and well looked after. I can only recall seeing one Binturong on those visits and its great to hear they have a pair at the moment. Whoever the individual was I saw the few years back moved exhibits a few times, From memory it was always an upsize in spatial area which was obviously really good to see. Good idea about the raceway between the two exhibits. I thought they might keep a pair together like Taronga does/did and other Zoos I imagine.
I believe the raceway idea is an excellent idea for some animal enclosures, It would give animals a opportunity to travel to another locations other than what they are use to and more room to explore providing more stimulus for them.
I believe that Wildlife HQ north of Brisbane has quite a few now some of them are nice and long between enclosures!
Yes Steve thats correct they are located right next to the big pineapple. I dare say the trend will continue with the overhead tunnels where its needed.
A zebra foal has been born

Mogo Wildlife Park have experienced very heavy rainfall that has lead to flash flooding in some parts of the zoo including their campsite and several of their hoofstock enclosures. One of the images also reveals that they now have Dromedary with their group of Plains Zebra: 200mms of rainfall inundates the South Coast as Mogo Zoo floods
The second photo in the article also seems to show a second species of deer in with the European Fallow Deer herd too. Anyone know what type of deer the darker ones are? It's not easy to tell from the photo.
They look like dark Fallow Deer (they come in several colours).
Black fallow. There are four main colour varieties- from the photo, two are present in this herd.
The colours are Common, Menil, Melanistic and Leucistic.
Colour descriptions and photos are here: European fallow deer - Wikipedia
At Woburn Park in UK they produced a couple of other rarer colours too- a bluish/creamy colour and even some piebald ones, but I think they may have died out now and don't appear to be anywhere else.
