Three, I think

 

[WalkingAgnatha]

I know recently 3 zoochatters (all on the same trip) saw Tapanuli Orangutan, aswell as Sumatran Ground Cuckoo and I wonder if anyone else on ZC has seen either of those taxa?

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

No for the Sumatran species; at least 3 of Giant Eland’s list seen wild however.

 

[Chlidonias]

I've seen about twenty of them, but the majority of the list is for places I haven't been to (South America, Africa, and Madagascar). Some of the names aren't very helpful either - Indonesian Fruit Bat, Giant Tree Rat, etc.

I've seen three for sure (possibly four but I never got a positive ID on the Talamancan Deer Mouse).

Unrelated, but I am a little disappointed that you use Madidi Titi as the common name for Callicebus aureipalatii rather than Goldenpalace.com Monkey.

I have seen all 294... minus 294 for a grand total of 0.

 

[Giant Eland]

4 out of 294 is better than zero!

That's the spirit! @Great Argus. Which four, California ones?

Three, I think

Nice! Which three?

No for the Sumatran species; at least 3 of Giant Eland’s list seen wild however.

Ooo all wild? Which 3?

I've seen about twenty of them, but the majority of the list is for places I haven't been to (South America, Africa, and Madagascar). Some of the names aren't very helpful either - Indonesian Fruit Bat, Giant Tree Rat, etc.

My apologies, I was copying from the notes I took in the field and didn't want to take the time for scientific names. For those two I meant Indonesian short-nosed fruit bat (Cynopterus titthaecheilus) and long-tailed giant rat (Leopoldamys sabanus) But congratulations you are in the lead right now!

I've got the forest elephant and likely a couple of the bats, but wasn't able to ID to species level without a detector...
Where did you see the blind mole rat?

Cool- Forest Elephant wild or captive and where? The Blind Mole Rat was in Israel in 2022- at both the Weizmann Institute of Science and The Tisch Family Zoological Gardens in Jerusalem.

I've seen three for sure (possibly four but I never got a positive ID on the Talamancan Deer Mouse).

Unrelated, but I am a little disappointed that you use Madidi Titi as the common name for Callicebus aureipalatii rather than Goldenpalace.com Monkey.

Oooo which 3?? And yes sorry, definitely a missed opportunity for a hilarious name- just less typing to write Madidi haha.

I have seen all 294... minus 294 for a grand total of 0.

Ahh excellent, a shut-out! Any on the list you'd hope to target?

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

Indri, Madagascar Red Rat and Greater Horseshoe Bat seen. Possibly other lemurs, need to check.

 

[Nile Hippo Expert]

Ahh excellent, a shut-out! Any on the list you'd hope to target?

Any of them really, but African Forest Elephant in particular would be amazing!

Thumbless Bat, Vesper Rat, and Dark Four-eyed Opossum.

Out of curiosity have you seen Watson's Climbing Rat? Given it wasn't on that list I'm wonderinf if I have a species you don't.

Captive at Asa, not the nicest place to see one but maybe I'll see a wild one someday? Cheers for the info on the mole rat - you haven't seen any blind mole rats wild have you?

 

[Giant Eland]

Thumbless Bat, Vesper Rat, and Dark Four-eyed Opossum.

Out of curiosity have you seen Watson's Climbing Rat? Given it wasn't on that list I'm wonderinf if I have a species you don't.

You sure do! Never seen Watson's Climbing Rat! Congrats on the Thumbless Bat- a family lifer!! How's your photos (if any) of the Dark Four-eyed Opossum? Mine aren't great but I'll upload soon if they could be the only ones.

Captive at Asa, not the nicest place to see one but maybe I'll see a wild one someday? Cheers for the info on the mole rat - you haven't seen any blind mole rats wild have you?

Ooo never went to ASA, did you see the bats behind the scenes there? No wild blind mole rats for me yet, but I have friends who were able to see some while in Israel.

Any of them really, but African Forest Elephant in particular would be amazing!

Great choice!!

I don't have any photos of the opossum sadly. I saw it just long enough to ID it before it disappeared into the the darkness of the jungle night.

Come to think of it there's a couple bats that I've seen that aren't on your list either. Have you seen Thomas's Fruit-eating Bat? What about Chestnut and Gray Short-tailed Bats?

 

[amur leopard]

Ooo never went to ASA, did you see the bats behind the scenes there? No wild blind mole rats for me yet, but I have friends who were able to see some while in Israel.

Unfortunately not, I wasn't sure I'd visit until the day before so it made it logistically difficult to see behind the scenes - worst of all I've come to find that I'd likely have seen two further cool species had I been able to go bts - the (at the time undescribed) Andrias sligoi and a Japanese mole...
As I understand it isn't difficult to get behind the scenes access though? Either way, not sure it's a zoo I'd want to revisit in a hurry.

 

[Great Argus]

That's the spirit! @Great Argus. Which four, California ones?

Lodgepole Chipmunk, California Myotis, Western Deer Mouse, and White-beaked Dolphin.

 

[TeaLovingDave]

White-beaked Dolphin, Malagasy Flying Fox, Mountain Gazelle

 

[Giant Eland]

I don't have Gray Short-tailed Bat but I did already have Thomas's and Chestnut from years back. These 294 (I really shoulda tried a little harder to find 6 more but it was getting late haha) were all new for me since 2022.

Unfortunately not, I wasn't sure I'd visit until the day before so it made it logistically difficult to see behind the scenes - worst of all I've come to find that I'd likely have seen two further cool species had I been able to go bts - the (at the time undescribed) Andrias sligoi and a Japanese mole...
As I understand it isn't difficult to get behind the scenes access though? Either way, not sure it's a zoo I'd want to revisit in a hurry.

Ahh damn that's a shame. Yea I very aware of their bats since they are some of the few species @RatioTile has over me haha. Did you not go to Tama Zoo's Mole House?

White-beaked Dolphin, Malagasy Flying Fox, Mountain Gazelle

Ut oh you and @Great Argus two in a row with White-beaked Dolphin...maybe more people have seen it than I thought. But @TeaLovingDave I purposely left off Pteropus rufus since I know they're on exhibit in Europe now. I meant Madagascan Fruit Bat (Eidolon dupreanum) which I assume you haven't seen. And for Mountain Gazelle I meant Palestine gazelle (Gazella gazella). Does that narrow you down to one?

Again apologies for no scientific names.

Depends on how you view the taxonomy of Arabian Mountain Gazelle but probably.

There are a few others on your list I *could* get in the wild but have merely missed out on thus far (Greater Horseshoe Bat) or have potentially already seen but was unable to satisfactorily confirm (Kuhl's Pipistrelle and Granada Hare).
