Zootierliste Goes Worldwide

[Chlidonias]

I will definitely go for Genetta maculata, but of course not 100 % sure.

I'd also go with maculata based on the width of the tail stripes (other similar species typically have much narrower pale bands, usually around 20% the width of the black stripes), although the body spotting seems very dark which may just be a photo artifact.

ZTL Administrators require more solid proof

I think with ZTL going worldwide they can't double check every single entry. Which is a problem I think because a lot of the new holdings added to ZTL since they opened it to new continents come for instance from the PhotoARK gallery, which is a nice indication of what has been kept but not necessarily of what's being kept.

I am sure, you are 100 % right and I am very happy that ZTL went worldwide, so we can have those discussions
I posted here, because seeing this species is a Scientific discovery.

maculata is also already listed for this institution. But I think I will add the info about the king into that species with possible missidentifation.

When does anyone remove a listing / set it to former?

I visited Frejus Zoo today and many species are listed as last seen 2018. I believe many of them are now gone, but I am not 100% sure. Do people leave them as current and just add “not seen/ not signed” or do people move them to former holding? I’m a bit hesitant to just move them to former, only based on the fact that I did not see it…

 

[Animal]

It really depends. Often an entry in the source "not seen, not signed" is a good start and if it said so before, then you can move the species. If there is however clear evidence that the animals are not longer there (due to demolishing of the enclosure and no other exhibit fit for them housing them) then just put them into former.

Something i noticed a while ago is that theres two spelling errors on the english version of the website, being them:

"Amercian" instead of american.

"Beeds" instead of breeds.

Thank you, we will change it

@Animal Why is Ptilinopus superbus listed as no species or subspecies status? As far as I know, there is no species that looks even remotely the same & the only other subspecies than nominate is temminckii, which is very easily distinguished by its purple belly. Temminckii is not kept anywhere.

I have noticed that in recent photos from reviews on Google, there are species not listed as current holdings on ZTL, particularly those in British SeaLife centres. Would a link to the photos in question be enough evidence to show the species is present at a collection?

I think it would. I'm using many blogs and other people's posts to add information. If correctly identified and photographed at a facility, it's perfect evidence.

Depending on the perspective, both forms are classified either as subspecies of the species P. superbus (e.g., in the current IOC systematics) or as independent species (e.g., in the IUCN Red List). I have just switched back to the current IOC list in the ZTL, meaning the subspecies status. Although both are generally distinguishable, we do not always know the appearance or origin of the animals in each listed holding (possibly including hybrids). Zoos are often not precise enough when it comes to exact classification, or subspecies are often not properly named. Therefore, in many cases, we need more information to assign them to P. (superbus) superbus or P. (s.) temminckii.

There's a visual bug currently going on regarding Tunisia holdings: some facilities fall under a typo of the Country, "Tunesia", but are still counted towards the total number of facilities that keep that specific taxa in Tunisia.

I looked into it and it should be fixed. If not, could you post a screenshot?

It's back to normal

At least one member is adding tons of species to Zootierliste, all based on JAZA. This website has almost never been updated and can definitely not be seen as an accurate source. Admins, in case the individual(s) did not see my message on the Notice Board, please restrict their ability to continue doing this. It's likely that a lot of inaccurate stuff has already been put online. Luckily, mammals are less likely to be outdated than for example fish.

 

[Animal]

I will look into this, thank you!

 

[Sicarius]

Interesting name this is


The problem was quickly resolved, but I thought it looked funny.

 

[Sicarius]

An admin should look into the "Ortygospiza atricollis atricollis". I think none of the pictures on Zootierliste represent this subspecies, nor do the animals at Hagenbeck. All of them look to be subspecies ansorgei to me.

Here is how the real nominate should look like:
Quailfinch ssp atricollis - Ortygospiza atricollis atricollis

There's now a similar problem with Czech Republic, the typo is "Czech Republik" and the only facility affected by this should be Chomutov (REPTILclub)
