But make sure that the husbandry You describe still exists; otherwise, write "Ehemalige Haltung". You can also edit and add the individual species accounts by yourself. And presto! one less reason to nag about missing Bush Dogs...
@Jurek7: That's still a debated field; some, like Helgen & Wilson, state that the Cozumel or the Guadeloupe Raccon ar just subspecies or even conspecific with the Common raccoon. Others still consider them as seperate species; further investigation is recommendable. Procyon insularis si still a valid species. Still, this doesn't answer my question...;) Thanks for the hint reg. Holland.
@zoogiraffe: Thanks

@Ituri: Thanks for the confirmation. Now I'm really surprised that I did not notice them...

Which species of bower-birds have You seen so far in zoos/private collections?
 
What about the Royal Antelope , Neotragus pygmaeus in European zoological collections ?
 
Howletts used to have the Four horned Antelopes, quite a few if I rememeber correct, Think they are all gone these days
 
RE: INSULARIS
I have contacted the author of the "insularis" picture you linked. It was taken at the current raccon dog enclosure in Ostrava in 2002 or 2003. He could not tell me how he identified the name of the species, but he wrote me "then it is probably the racoon dog", so I think it is just a mislabeled PROCYON LOTOR (by the author, not by the zoo). I have checked annual reports of Ostrava from those years and they do not list any P. insularis.
 
@Jana: Thanks a lot for Your efforts; I really appretiate it.
@MARK: Paris had the very last specimen, but it also already died.

Recently, I stumbled about a quite interesting book: "The Secrets of the Blind Dolphins" by Girgio Pilleri. In this book, he describes what is most likely the first and only (more or less) successful ex-situ husbandry of the Indus River Dolphin (Platanista indicus minor) for a longer period of time. However, the place where the pair of dolphins were kept wasn't a zoo-but the cellar of Hirnanatomischen Institut der Psychiatrischen Universitatsklinik, Bern ("Institute of Brain Anatomy of the University Clinic of Psychiatry")...The photos and the description of their behaviour (they seem to always touch the bottom with one of their front fins...) are still amazing, even after 23 years.

Anyone knowing a zoo keeping Todies? Walsrode kept them in the past, but I haven't seen one in ages...
 
Regarding any zoos keep San Esteban Chuckwalla, I think Oklahoma City Zoo display them in their Islands exhibit, if I remeber correctly.

Does anyone know any zoos keep Helmeted Hornbills?
 
Kuala lumpur zoo kept them in their bird nursery, and I believe Jurong bird park still keep the species (which may be off-show..)

Kota Kinabalu zoo may also keep the birds...
 
@okapipr, yangz: Thanks. That bit about the Oklahoma City Zoo Island Exhibit was especially interesting-what other species (besides the ones mentioned on their HP) are also displayed in this part of the zoo?
