Any of these in U.S. zoos? and where?

[Coelacanth18]

Most I have seen are not.

Same for me, although I've mostly seen them in Southwestern zoos where bison aren't very common.

It appears that Whipsnade was the last to hold them in the UK.

Two pronghorns were born at Whipsnade in three consecutive years: 1964, 1965 and 1966. One of those born in 1964 was successfully reared; sadly the other five youngsters failed to survive.

I know Bushpigs were still kept at Shadow Nursery when they went under but I do not know where the animals went from there or if they are still alive. Gladys Porter and Capital of Texas Zoo should still have bearded pigs.

Thanks for the info, but what is -or was-the Shadow Nursery ?

A private collection in Tennessee. There's a gallery for it here on the forum, they kept a lot of rare ungulates but unfortunately the owner became suddenly ill a couple years ago and the entire collection was left unattended for quite some time. The remaining animals were eventually sold off from my understanding, but I have no idea what survived and where they went.

Thanks again for that information, Thylo. Let me see, if I can get a little bit more information about this place.

I’m not sure if this has already been asked, but is the Kakapo and the Kea kept in the USA? Because those are two birds I really wanna see.

Kakapo, no. Kea yes, at a few different places.

Kakapo isn't kept by anyone. There is one bird that occasionally does guest appearances in NZ.

Kea I know is at Trevor Zoo in New York and Franklin Park in Boston.

Cincinnati has Kea, or it did at one point.

They should still have Kea, I believe they're one of the main breeders in the US. Sedgwick County and Tracy Aviary keep them as well.
