Photographed in the Regenwaldhaus. According to Zootierliste this species was kept at Cologne until 2015. Weltvogelpark Walsrode is currently the only remaining public holder in Europe.
I photographed these years ago as well. Did they ever breed them?
 
@Goura According to Zootierliste they did. ZTL lists an unsuccessful attempt in 2006 (offspring were not reared) and a successful breeding in 2008.
 
Took care for this intresting species at Parc Paradiso ( now Pairi Daiza ) in the period 1994 - 1996. The single male we had lived in the Tropical Hall ( the one between the large Free-flight aviary and the Squirrel - Flying fox enclosure ) and build during this time several bowers.
