Are These in Captivity? #2

[Austin the Sengi]

Predominantly, they are plains bison. Although, there are some zoos in both Alaska and Canada that display the wood type.

What subspecies of koalas are kept in the US? I've seen Victoria and NSW listed on zooinstitutes, but I'm skeptical of the accuracy of this info.

 

[Ituri]

Queensland currently, though Victorian have been kept in the past at Albuquerque and Los Angeles and possibly others

 

[AlmightyKingPrawn]

What is the red billed hornbill species kept in the AZA? Also my question about the species of the former Detroit Zoo hummingbirds still stands.

Also my question about the species of the former Detroit Zoo hummingbirds still stands.

The only person who might know would be @Azamat Shackleford, probably.

 

[RatioTile]

Are the Blue Iguanas (Cyclura lewisi) in AZA zoos pure blooded? People online seem to disagree. To my knowledge all the ones in the reptile hobby trade are hybridized with Cuban Rock Iguanas, but maybe the SSP has higher standards?

Hummingbirds are long gone.

 

[AlmightyKingPrawn]

Hummingbirds are long gone.

That's why I said former.

 

[Azamat Shackleford]

Sorry, briefly skimmed your message. I'm not sure as I haven't found a full list of hummingbird species kept.

Are Sanje mangabey kept in captivity anywhere, specifically Europe?

 

[Platypusboy]

@Charles They are not kept anywhere in Europe, at least according to Zootierliste.

Are there any Eurasian subspecies of grey wolf keept in North america?

Toronto holds wood bison if I’m not mistaken.
Also I’d like to ask if the following are kept in zoos in North America:
Red-lored Amazon
Wire-tailed Manakin
Helmeted Curassow
Fiery-billed Aracari
Agouti (any species)

Pro tip: you can use the search bar in the forums and media gallery to look these animals up. I just did, took me under a minute to confirm that at least 4 of the 5 are found in North American zoos.

Has there ever been any Polynesian rats keept at any zoo?

 

[Lota lota]

Any NA institution that keep Witch flounder (Glyptocephalus cynoglossus)?

 

[AlmightyKingPrawn]

I am putting this here because I am not sure if we have an animal ID thread. If we do, I'd like to be redirected there.

This pic is from a trip to the Desert Dome at the Henry Doorly Zoo in 2020. I don't need ID for the blacksmith lapwings. The mystery is the little Passerine to the left. What is it? My best guess is some sort of munia.

Edit: aaaaaaand I guess the image didn't work. Sorry guys. Check my media I guess.

Edit 2: Ignore this completely lol. TheBirdMan ID'd it as a chestnut weaver.

 

[Coelacanth18]

@AlmightyKingPrawn for future ID needs, there is a media gallery called Animal or Zoo Identification for that very purpose

 

[AndyJ08]

What about Hawk-headed parrots? I know they are more common than many species on this list, but I’ve only seen them at DWA and at one pet store, but other than that, they really aren’t kept by a ton of zoos from my experience.
