captivity

Hello, I was hoping if any of you could list the antelope species Japan currently has. As far as I know, there are Eland, Sitatunga, Eastern White-bearded Wildebeest, Blackbuck, Scimitar Oryx, and Roan Antelope. Are there any more species and if so, where do they reside at the moment? I would...

I’m making this thread because (even with research on the site) I can’t seem to figure out if some species are kept in North America or not. The first species I’d like to ask about is the Golden Jackal. Is it kept in North America?

Inspired by the are these in captivity thread, I thought it would be useful to make a thread to list of some species are in captivity in europe I don’t know what to say after this so yeah hope this is useful

Since many species ( in particular ungulates and primates) have the problem with to many males, since they live in male dominated groups, whit only one adult male. For many species, are bachlor groups the sollution. Because because of their social groups in case of gibbons and chimpanzes does...

I don't know if there's already a thread for this, but I can't find a good organized site that has information about giant pandas. Until recently you had giantpandaglobal.com, but since it had an error the site is gradually languishing. Until recently it still contained a little information such...

I don't know if there is already a thread for this, but I didn't find one immediately. Post news or information about captive whale sharks and lists of all captive whale sharks here:).

I'm a big fan of Defassa Waterbuck. I know that there are numerous numbers of them in the EAZA but from what I can find, only BGT and the SDWAP still house them. The AZA and most exotics ranches keep Common Waterbuck. Any chance there could be some imports in the future to keep numbers...

I think the Gaur is one of the most interesting bovine Species. In Europe there are only 12 holders of this species and i want to know how is the current gaur situation in american or australasian zoos?

Howdy folks! It’s certainly been a while, so forgive me if this has been extensively discussed elsewhere. I just wanted to know your thoughts on the possibility of Antarctic seal species being kept in captivity (zoos and/or aquaria) in the future. Though I do know there was at some point a...

I know, it's the endless discussion of marine mammals in captivity. I understand the arguments for keeping them in captivity and those against, I've just been wondering about the country to country divide on attitudes. I'm in Spain this week and have been looking at visiting Barcelona zoo but...

I've been looking up pictures on this site of Dolphin and Whale exhibits and, while some have good quality, a lot look small to house these animals. Are there any large, natural Cetacean exhibits? P.S. I'm not on the side of ill-informed organizations Like IDA, or PETA. I think we can house...

Something to share & keep in mind next time we visit a zoo... Often we forget that we're not the quietest species. Then how does noise affect the welfare of animals in captivity? Well, If you build a record of the noise level at your local zoo (using apps such NoiseTube for example), you will...

(Hope this hasn't been discussed before; couldn't find anything on it) I'll just get right to the point. Why are there no loxodonta cyclotis is captivity? (Yes I am aware of the few individuales in Japan) Is it because of food requirements(I would assume it would just be fruit and forest...

Hello everyone :) As part of my ethics assignment, I'd like to include an up-to-date poll on people's opinions over whether polar bears should be housed in UK zoos? This is a topic I am very undecided upon myself, however I would love to hear all of your views on the matter. I understand...

Some zoos really do try, I give them that. Some zoos, not as much. Comparing the San Diego Wildlife Park to the LA Zoo was a very good example of this. There were endless animals at the LA zoo showing signs of Zoochosis including but not limited to; fossa, leopard, giant anteater, flamingos...

What is the status of Ribbon Seals in Captivity? Have there ever been any in captivity, Plans to have one, are there any currently in captivity?

I'm doing a paper over Orcas in captivity. Can I have some insightful opinions to put in my paper?

Recently I have been rather obsessed with sifakas (more than usual:p). I have gathered loads of information about the current situation of Crowned Sifaka in Europe and have started compiling a list of all of the sifaka in captivity. Besançon (Zoo/Citadelle) 1,0 1,0 "Daholo" Born in 2009 at...

I have created this page as a place where people can post zoo reviews on the forum, with out making an own thread for that. I will maybe post reviews later, but first I am interested in reading other reviews of zoos and aquariums from fellow zoochaters.

I am currently researching into the attitudes the British public has on dolphins being kept in human care. There are currently no dolphins in human care in the UK and as DEFRA are currently reviewing guidelines for keeping cetaceans in captivity, I feel it is important we find out whether...
