Are any Red-Fan parrots held anywhere other than ZooWorld Panama City Beach in NA?

I've seen them at San Antonio Zoo, DWA, Santa Fe Teaching Zoo, and Zoo Miami.

Smithsonian has them, too

Shedd Aquarium.

Not feeling hopeful but does anyone know if there are any remaining Indian onagers in captivity?

Indian wild asses have rarely been kept in zoos.

An interesting article "Indian Wild Ass - wild and captive populations" was published in "Oryx" (April 1988) and it is available on-line.

Accordingly to this article, only two zoos had ever kept Indian wild ass, namely Paris (where nine foals were born between 1842 and 1849) and London (where a pair presented in 1934 lived more than twenty years). I would have seen these London animals when a very small child in the mid-1950s.

Not mentioned in this article but Flower (1929) records London Zoo also kept and bred earlier Indian wild asses back in the eighteen hundreds.

ZooTierListe also lists one at Berlin Zoo.

There's at least a dozen facilities with them, Sacramento in addition to those already named.

Are their any jackals left in the US? And if there are, which species are there and is their population salvageable?

Are there none in Indian zoos?

There are a few facilities with black-backed jackals, some of which are breeding them. They aren’t especially common, nor is there much demand for them

There's 10 or so facilities outside AZA, all with black backed.

Thank you - the articles were very interesting.

With them, I managed to track down a copy of the studbook which suggests that they were once held in 6 Indian zoos but only remain in the Junagadh and Vandalur zoos now, with a total of 15 captive animals in 2018.

I know that Wildlife World in Arizona has black backed.

Has the Honey Possum ever been kept in captivity?

 

[Bactrian Deer]

Are any Mindoro Bleeding-Hearts (Gallicolumba platenae) held anywhere?

 

[Dassie rat]

There are many ZTL zoos with the species: ZootierlisteHomepage

 

[bongorob]

Wrong species Dassie Rat. Bactrian Deer was asking about Gallicolumba platenae.

I made the same mistake when I first saw the post and read it as Mindanao.

Indeed having both a Mindanao bleeding-heart pigeon and a Mindoro bleeding-heart pigeon is confusing. Maybe, to avoid confusion, it's better to call Gallicolumba crinigera by it's alternative common name Bartlett's bleeding-heart pigeon. I always think of it as Bartlett's bleeding-heart pigeon anyway as that's the name used when I was younger. (Named after Abraham Bartlett of London Zoo fame.)

Does anyone here happen to know more about the supposed Hall’s Crocodiles kept at Krokodille Zoo in Denmark?

Are Cozumel Island Raccoons, Short-Eared Dog, Rusty-Spotted Cat, or Piraiba kept anywhere in the US? (or in general?)

There is one US holder of Rusty-spotted Cat, Carson Springs Wildlife in Florida. The species is more common in European zoos, with 21 holders listed on Zootierliste.
