That's really sad. I was just looking at his pictures today. Does this mean Singapore Night Safari will temporarily be the only place inside Asia to house them? If so, I just saw them yesterday.

Yes, Singapore Night Safari is temporarily the only place in Asia to see Tasmanian devils.
I don't know when Tama will introduce a new pair, but it's true that they are planning on doing so.

Oh no. I just noticed this while glancing over the map on their website. Honestly it's impressive how quickly they updated the map, considering how many places I've seen with online maps that are years outdated. Glad to hear they're planning to get more, though.

(1) 在メルボルン日本国総領事館 on X: "New Tasmanian Devils are planned to make their debut at @TamaZooPark! On 25 Nov, Consul-General Shimada and his wife visited the Cressy Wildlife Centre in Tasmania and met two one-year-old females selected to go to Japan. CG & his wife are looking forward to seeing them in Japan. https://t.co/HBJ4Oq76ob" / X (twitter.com)
I don't know if anyone has seen this tweet, but I hope to leave happy marks on people's faces.

The last Hadada ibis in Tama Zoo has passed away. This is unfortunate as this Hadada ibis was the last one in a Japanese zoo. However, Dr. Wolverine has told me that an ibis park in Sado Island still keeps this species.

I am ecstatic to annouce that Tasmanian Devils will be making a return to the Tama Zoo on March 14, with the new individuals being one to two year old females from the Cressy Wildlife Centre. Reception to the tweet has been quite positive, with Japanese animal lovers excited to see the Australian section become more livelier again.

Not news but does anyone know how many magpie geese are left at Tama?

The Tasmanian devils have been officially released into their new homes at the Tama Zoo, with much positive feedback from visitors.
They have the last one in Japan. This species will soon be extinct in Japanese zoos.

Very happy to hear this! It feels a bit silly to bank on travelling abroad to get to see a species found in my own country's zoos, but this will likely be my only opportunity to see them for the foreseeable future.
A Chinese red panda (ssp. styani) was moved to Batu Secret Zoo in Indonesia. The male offspring "Kite" was transferred recently. The Japanese zoo population for Chinese red panda (Ailurus fulgens styani) and 4.8.

I personally wonder how the styani part of the Japan zoo population is doing and how their genetics, relatedness and sustainability. I believe there is also still a nominate Himalayan red panda (fulgens),

What is the long term plan for oriental stork at Tokyo Tama?
After the last hadada ibis passed away ... Wishful thinking: Japanese crested ibis (an extension to the recovery effort in Japan itself)?
Tama already keeps crested ibis. They are kept behind the scenes.
@PossumRoach, Thank you for that helpful comment!
Any further information you have on what collections and zoos in Japan keep the crested ibis (Nipponia nippon) and how large and hopefully some sex age ratio (M/F/U) data per collection?
The project erstwhile started on Honshu and has recently expanded to Hokkaido!!!
What part of the zoo breeding groups is participating in the recovery and restoration of wild crested ibis in Japan.

A 65 year old greater flamingo named Green 20 died on June 2.
Artificial insemination has been successfully performed twice on a female Western chimpanzee using sperm from a male captured in the wild, unable to mate naturally. Recently, a baby was born as a result. This initiative aims to enhance the genetic diversity of the JAZA population.
