If you had a zoo, what 5 species would yo definitely have?

[Van Beal]

As someone in North America, this probably won’t be accurate to what I can actually get, but…
1. Chilean Flamingo
2. Giant Anteater
3. Binturong
4. Tree Kangaroo (any species)
5. Komodo Dragon or False Gharial

 

[Van Beal]

African Pygmy Dormouse
Thailand Beauty Stick Insect
Mandarin Duck
Golden Pheasant
Purple Glossy Starling

I’ve got all those already

I’d find it very hard to stick with five species……which is why I’ve got other stuff.

Now I’m intrigued as to what kind of a collection you’ve got with you.

As someone in North America, this probably won’t be accurate to what I can actually get, but…

All of those species you have listed are all around here in decent numbers at the least. Some, like Binturong, are very plentiful too.

Oh wow… surprises the Binturong is common in North American facilities
