Are These in Captivity? #2

[Onychorhynchus coronatus]

There was a paper written on involvement of zoos with Caribbean iguana conservation, which mentioned that the Toledo Zoo worked with the Mona Island iguana in situ; it made no reference to there being a captive population for it, unlike other species like Grand Cayman.

Thanks for sharing @Coelacanth18 !

Do you remember what the name of the paper was by any chance ?

I would be really interested in finding out more about their in-situ work.

Thanks @Coelacanth18 ! Much appreciated !

It looks familiar so I might have read through it before but if I did then I evidently didn't read through it well enough as don't remember reading about Mona Island iguana.

Anyway again thanks for sharing, fascinating topic.

Are there any Stitchbirds in captivity?

I think so, I've seen references to captive-hatched birds before.

Are there any Stitchbirds in captivity?

They are only kept in captivity at Pukaha Mt. Bruce. The bulk of the conservation for the species is done in the wild, not through captive-breeding.

Cool, didn't know that.

There are Tiger Quolls at Columbus Zoo & Aquarium. They're the only holder in North America, AFAIK.

Ooh nice, that's fairly close to my house! I've been meaning to go back for a while. Only time I went I was maybe 10 or 11 (I went to The Wilds as recent as 2019).

My understanding is that the last animal died years ago. They have not been on exhibit for a while.

My bad. That's disappointing.

 

[AlmightyKingPrawn]

Well, that was that

 

[birdsandbats]

I can confirm that Columbus' Tiger Quolls died quite some time ago.

What year?
