Source is from the curator himself. Personally this was also the one species he mentioned to us that caught my attention.

Used to own a female in Malaysia and arguably my favourite viper species to ever work with.

Sounds delightful. Been very intrigued with this species for a while so I'm excited to see it eventually

Which species occupy the 3 tanks in the pygmy hippo exhibit now? Last I visited, jaguar cichlids from the caiman lizard tank were in the former male anaconda tank

Glad to see the okapi plans materialising! Would they import from America, Europe or Japan, the only other place in Asia with okapis? Besides okapis and sifakas, are there any other plans for major new species for Rainforest Wild, assuming most of Asia’s species are already in their collection?

Will the babirusas be integrated into the global ex situ conservation breeding program for babirusa run by PKBSI in association with Europe's EAZA and North American AZA? What is the current status in numbers anyway with their (North?) Sulawesi babirusa?

Any information on the origins of their original founder stock of babirusas?
