Is it possible that their could be some in the private sector ? Look how many species (mostly ungulates) San Diego Zoo and San Diego Wild Animal Park sent into the private sector, some of which date back to before White lipped peccaries were in the collection that are still around in the private sector as of recent years
Sorry to digress but could it be possible that there are still Chaco pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus leucogaster) from San Diego Zoo in the private sector, they had a good sized group in the early 1990s and were breeding as recently as 1995
And sorry to digress even more but I also wonder if any of San Diego's Sichuan takins, Japanese serow, Calamian deer, Maxwells, Black, Red flanked, and Bay duikers, Babirusa, Barbary red deer, Southern pudu, Lesser kudu, Spekes gazelle, Red fronted gazelles, Burmese banteng, Black faced impala, Cuban hutias, Pacaranas, Palestine blind mole rats, Marbled polecats, Siberian weasels, European otters, West mexican margays, Columbian brown spider monkeys, LeHoests guenons etc etc etc are or have been anywhere in the private sector
The reason I ask about the Sichuan takins is because they have had a supprisingly large amount of Sichuan takin births, yet they are not the most common animal in US zoos and plus there are Mishmi takins in the private sector and they are an EEP animal and there are several other EEP animals that San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park sent into the private sector such as Mhorr gazelles, Saharan dorcas gazelles, Bharals, East and West caucasian turs etc. as for SSP species, I can think of quite a few that they sent into the private sector eg. Gerenuk, Yellow backed duiker, Lowland anoa, Chinese goral etc. and that is why I ask about some of the others I mention in the list above, as for the others I listed that are not SSP or EEP they had most these species in decent sized numbers in relatively recent years so they cant all be deceased, perhaps Safari Park may know (If he were still an active ZooChat member)
Thanks Threeple61, glad to hear they still exist in captivity!
Now going back to the White lipped peccaries, I think I read somewhere about Cleveland Zoo showing an interest in getting them but I don't know what happened there

I highly doubt the pacaranas and mole rats came from the private trade. Though the hutias, polecats, weasels and most of the ungulates are all currently found in the trade.

Regarding the pacaranas, I don't know where San Diego Zoo got them, I wasn't sure if they at one time happened to have surplus that ended up in the private sector so I was just curious, as for the Palestine blind mole rats, they got them from the Philadelphia Zoo for their 75th birthday in 1991 (the year before I was born), as for the Cuban hutias and Siberian weasels and Hoofed Mammals that I asked about, do you know which private collections or dealers had or have them and which private collections would have which species ?
