Are These in Captivity? #2

[Mary]

Also, are there any Pale Foxes, Crab-Eating Foxes, Corsac Foxes, Golden Jackals, African Golden Wolves, Kiangs, or Onagers (any sub) in the US or Canada? I’m pretty sure there’s no Kiangs, but it’s worth a shot. And are there any Island Foxes in captivity outside of California? Thank you so much, sorry for all the questions!

There are 3 onagers at Parc Safari in Quebec, and they’re in the drive through safari. They walk right up to your car. One of the most incredible zoo experiences of my life.

There are onagers at The Wilds as well.

Any why would we need them when we have the superior badger?

Because there needs to be a zoo with all the badgers

Fair enough. The International Badger Foundation or something.

other than American Badgers, Honey Badgers, and the recently imported Javan Ferret-Badgers are there any other species of badger in the US?

How many Syrian Brown Bears are left in captivity? I am aware that there are 20 European holders, but how many individual bears are there?

Lots of places in the US claim to have Syrian Brown Bears.

I’ve been to a few roadside zoos, and oddly enough, nearly all of them that do have brown bears claim that they’re Syrian.

 

[TinoPup]

They are Syrian.

A follow up, I forgot to ask if Uta Hick’s Bearded Saki are anywhere in captivity.

Both BioParque do Rio (Rio de Janeiro zoo) and Parque Zoológico Municipal Quizinho de Barros (Sorocaba zoo) held Chiropotes utahickae as of July 2022. I'm 100% sure Rio still holds two individuals because I just saw them last Friday.

Does anybody have an idea about flying dragons? (Draco sp.) In my opinion they would make a great free ranging animal in tropical halls.

Visitors would never see them, much less their gliding behavior.

They were introduced in Burgers' Bush but weren't kept long term, I don't know why though, but could be too low ant densities for them, though ants are very common.

Given how visible the anoles are in the Bush and how easy it is to see wild Draco lizards in Singapore Zoo, they could theoretically be an addition if their husbandry works out.

apparently Reptilandia in Texas claims to have Flying Dragons or at least plans to acquire them
