Very cool photo of a great species Thylo, are there many of these in North America?

Thanks!:)

I do not think so. This was the first time I've seen this species and I was unaware the zoo had them so it was a nice surprise.

I've only ever seen one other dormouse species in captivity as well. This being the Woodland Dormice they have at Bronx.

Awesome find! Thank God I saw these at Plzen already...otherwise I'd be driving to Philadelphia soon...
 
Was this in the nocturnal section of the house? I've never seen them on exhibit unfortunately.
 
This was indeed in the nocturnal section. It's such a shame it closed, it had a fantastic species line-up when I visited for such a small section.
