Sad to say, the Prague animals have now died off, leaving Europe once again bereft of any ferret-badger taxa :(

Too bad!:( That's really sad especially because they are so rare and now "extinct" in Europe. Are there any chinese ferret-badgers in any zoo on other continents ? And what about the enclosure, for what is it supposed to keep now?

Glad I got to see them then! :p

I imagine there are some in Asia, but I don't think there would be any anywhere else now.

I don't know what has become of their enclosure, they were in the nocturnal section of the Indonesian Jungle Pavilion. Jana should know what has replaced them.

I did some research in the forums and galleries here on ZooChat and I found out that the following zoos keep ferret-badgers (all over the world) (information maybe outdated but I payed attention the information is right):


Burmese ferret-badger:
Yadanabon Zoo (Myanmar)
Yangon Zoo (Myanmar)
Saigon Zoo (Vietnam)
Pata Zoo (Thailand)

Ferret-badger (no subspecies mentioned):
Taipei Zoo (Taiwan)
Chiang Mai Zoo (Thailand)

So, if there are no unknown chinese ferret-badgers or Taipei/Chiang Mai keep the burmese one, the chinese subspecies is not represented in zoos anymore. Is there no studbook or sth like that in which all zoos are listed?
 
I made a request at ISIS about, among others, the Chinese ferret-badger: There are only 2(!) animals in a zoo worldwide (Taipei Zoo)
