What European captive mammals that never touch the USA?

[Evirapo]

I would like to see some mammals that European zoos have also need to be in the USA

I'm not understanding what you're asking here, could you try to re-phrase your question?

I mean what mammals do European zoos have that the US zoos never have

 

[Jurek7]

Not many - European mink and Iberian Lynx, maybe?

 

[King of Komodo Dragons]

European Hedgehog, Iberian Lynx, Alpine Ibex to name a few. Most if not all European shrews

 

[birdsandbats]

Quokka, Kowari

The US focuses on the Amur leopard subspecies, while Europe has multiple subspecies including North Chinese.

Europe has Asian lion, the US does not.

I heard Coquerel's Sifaka got imported to Europe from the USA, which was the first time live in Europe a few years ago. It makes me have questions like I don’t understand why the USA didn’t get crowned sifakas too. It’s just low taste and unfair in my opinion.

I don't know any special details on lemurs, but my suspicion is the AZA wanted to focus on one sifaka species and chose their Coquerel's -- similar to the leopard situation, where the AZA made a judgement only one leopard subspecies could be supported here with sufficient diversity, while the EAZA feels they can manage multiple.

I mean If they can breed two ruffed lemur species so it can be possible for 2 sifaka species too

Maybe you should first do some research instead of any emotional statements. There are 0 crowned sifaka available as the European population is very small and every animal is needed to ensure survival in Europe. Coquerel sifaka population in USA is much bigger.

Ruffed lemur and sifaka are also not comparable in the slightest when it comes to husbandry...

Do we actually know the population of captive crowned sifakas in Europe?

Do we actually know the population of captive crowned sifakas in Europe?

Yes we do, and it stands at roughly 15 crowned sifaka in total, with 6 births in the past 5 years.

Oh that's understandable, thank you

Zoos in the United States of America might have at one time held tamaraws, Visayan hornbills, and smooth-coated otters, but there are not any holders currently, to the best of my knowledge.
