Animals You've Seen That Few Zoochatters Have Seen

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

I have seen White-backed Woodpecker (wild)

I have seen White-backed Woodpecker (wild)

Me too, but I suspect at the other end of the continent than you, in South Korea and eastern Russia.

 

[TeaLovingDave]

Smooth snake (Coronella austriaca)

I suspect rather a lot of Zoochatters in Europe have seen this one - the ones based on the continent at least, and probably a fair few of the UK ones.

Artic char

I've not only seen captive Arctic Char several times, I've *eaten* Arctic Char

It's the only wild UK reptile species I've never seen.

How about
Atlantica calathoides
Geomitra grabhami
And Discula lyelliana?

How about Siberian roe deer?
I assume @Chlidonias have seen them during his travels in asia.
I remember seeing them when I was visiting my grandma in Moscow.

Did you see any in the wild? The western species is very common and pretty accustomed to human envoirment activity.Is it the same case with the siberian?

No sorry. I didn't see any wild! Only had a 5 hour layover- just enough time to run through Novosibirsk Zoo!

I think quite a few Zoochatters have seen Aardwolves at one point or another, but my local zoo just got in a breeding pair. My local zoo isn’t even associated with the AZA, so how would they acquire them?

 

[AndyJ08]

BTW…. my local zoo is ZooWorld, it has improved much since the photos in the gallery were taken.

Private hands.

Private hands.

I was not aware of this… why don’t more US zoos have aardwolves, then? (Dubiousness aside)

Currently Aardwolves are on a slowly increasing trend in NA - and other than the elderly one at Cincy they are all in rather questionable places. There is a fair likelihood that we will continue to see more keep popping up outside of the AZA.

More used to, but they're not as popular with the public as other hyenas.

1. Cincy only has one? Did the other die?
   
2. What other places have them and how questionable are they?

To proof the improve ( ) can you upload more recent photos of ZooWorld them - would be intresting.

 

[JT]

I suppose Livingstone’s fruit bats would count as there’s only 3 collections worldwide with the species.

Although I’m sure a number of zoochatters would have seen them when they were at Bristol.

And indeed when they were at Chester.

I just went yesterday, so yes I can upload pictures from my updated trip later today or tomorrow
