Thanks- I was reading the list of species included in the challenge, while trying to remember the species I saw today, and then comparing them to the name on the Colchester Zoo website. It was a bit confusing and it doesn't help that I didn't get to see species such as Hyena, Amur Leopard, and such that I probably would have seen with a longer visit. It is fine though as I will probably visit again as long as the Easter Holiday, and hopefully I will get to visit more zoos this year.

That's a nice line-up! I thought Berlin had received Sunda Slow Loris for the nocturne house, though?

Just an add-on to these posts, I was looking through the gallery for the Shell Factory and one of Giant Eland's photos from 2014 actually shows an opossum with pouch-young. So the animals they have now probably are still the same species.
It was my birthday yesterday so decided to make a day of it and knock off a few collections!Got myself to another aquarium today, with a grand total of one shark species!It was new for the challenge though so can't complain too much!

17. Indochinese Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa)
18. Bush Dog (Speothos venaticus)
19. Northern Raccoon (Procyon lotor)
Not a great haul, and did have a few no-shows that should be easy enough to pick up over the coming months but there were a lot of people there and there wasn't really much inclination to linger. Fortunately the missing species were foxes, armadillos, and servals so nothing majorly devastating or unusual.
Hoping I can get to some smaller places soon with some decent totals!
Hopefully this is everything seen yesterday, if not then I'm sure someone will remind me of anything I've missed.Linton - 26/02

26 February Shepreth Wildlife Park
78 Clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa)
79 Pardine genet (Genetta pardina)
I know there has been mention on zoochat previously that these may be a different species, that is what they are signed as and listed as on zootierliste.
I've put them down as Pardine as well, but if I go to All Things Wild and see there "definite" Pardine then I might look into their provenance a bit more...
Clouded leopard?It was my birthday yesterday so decided to make a day of it and knock off a few collections!

I think you probably saw one, I'm sure I didGot them at Chessington last month.

Was it the one you had to view through peepholes if it was indoors?

Wow! Never noticed that in the photo before. I wonder if they received a pregnant wild-caught animal or if they actually bred them.
