Wings of Asia - Cabot's Tragopan

Tragopan caboti. Lucky to catch the male displaying.
it's good to see so many pheasant species back at Jurong after their (total?) removal several years ago.
 
Yes, Jurong has been reviving many aspects of its collection in recent years, and I am guessing this will further continue as the park prepares to move to the Zoo area (very excited about this :-)))
From memory in my last visit the park's phasianidae collection has grown substantially and now includes:

Green Peafowl (Pavo muticus)
Blue Peafowl (Pavo cristatus)
Malay Peacock-pheasant (Polypectron malaccense)
Mountain Peacock-pheasant (Polypectron inopinatum)
Germaine's Peacock-pheasant (Polyplectron germaini)
Bronze-tailed Peacock-pheasant (Polypectron chalcurum)
Malayan Great Argus (Argusianus argus)
Reeves' Pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesii)
Cabbot's Tragopan (Tragopan cabboti)
Temminck's Tragopan (Tragopan temminckii)
Edward's Pheasant (Lophura edwarsi)
Vietnamese Pheasant (Lophura hatinhensis) - yes, Jurong still considers it separately...
Viellot's Crested Fireback (Lophura ignite rufa)
Malayan Crestless Fireback (Lophura e. erythrophthalma)
Siamese Fireback (Lophura diardi)
Swinhoe's Pheasant (Lophur swinhoi)
Silver Pheasant (Lophura nycthemera)
Golden Pheasant (Crhysolophus pictus)
Green Junglefowl (Gallus varius)
Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus)
Black Francolin (Francolinus francolinus)
Bamboo Partridge (Bambusicola thoracica)
Mountain Bamboo Partridge (Bambusicola fytchii)
White-collared Partridge (Arborophila gingica)
Roulroul (Rollulus roulroul)
 
I remember seeing a kalij (not sure which species) when Wings of Asia just opened. I haven't seen it in recent visits.
 
The whole collection has expanded in the last few years to again be one of the greatest in the world so it will be interesting to see what will happen to it when the park moves over to the zoo area in a few years.
Wonder if it will be increased or somehow be downsized and what species they will focus on.
