Did the Dallas World Aquarium ever have more then one Yapok, or just that one ?
Also besides Dallas World Aquarium and Bronx Zoo, has any other American facility kept Yapok ?

They have had multiple animals, but I'm not sure if they were ever there at the same time.

Thank you Jbnbsn99, thats very interesting, do you happen to know when they got Yapok or how they sourced them ?

Well if they've had multiple animals it's a crying shame that they never tried to get a breeding pair.
This little creature would be worth travelling to the DWA for on its own, you're a lucky man to get a shot like this jbn!
