on the opposite side of this exhibit is another exhibit that had Coati (Nasua narica) in it. I would like the zoo to exhibit another cat species since its in Great Cats. Im wondering if the smithsonian will be one of the zoos to phase in Jaguarundi or bring back the serval or another species like the Flat-headed cat, African golden cat, Jungle cat, Margay, Geoffroy's Cat and Andean Cat.

Do you seriously think that the last 7 species are going to come to the zoo? It would be excellent, but we have to wake up and face reality sometimes.
 
Jaguarundi isn't totally unbelieveable. The AZA is planning on phasing-in the species, you said it yourself on your 'Phase-In Species' thread. We are talking about a zoo that, for at least a while, was planning (is still planning?) to bring in Bhutan Takin. Servals are a little more believeable, though. Especially since the zoo once had them I believe. The rest are a little ridiculous, though. Also, why there's a coati in a feline exhibit- beats me.

The juvenile fishing cats took over the coati exhibit since both coatis passed away last year.
