I didn't know that. What species might they be hybridized with? Mourning Doves?
I believe so. I know there is a pure population and a debatable population. The pure population is somewhere between 100-200 birds to my understanding; I'm not aware of many details on it.
Are there any Falanoucs in captivity?
Capital of Texas Zoo
Along with a few in Europe
They have Fanaloka, not Falanouc.
Again, Fanaloka, not Falanouc.
Falanouc = Eupleres goudotii
Fanaloka = Fossa fossana
Thanks for clarifying, Yes, I meant any of the Eupleres species, Eastern or western.
I've seen sage-grouse listed for sale a couple times, beyond that not that I'm aware of.
Prairie-Chicken I don't think so.

For Falanouc, I don't believe so. No entries on ZTL and I've never heard of any in North America. If they are, it's probably in Madagascar itself.
That seems realistic. Thank you @Great Argus!
@Great Argus Surprisingly, ZTL lists Greater prairie chicken (Tympanuchus cupido) as kept by a spanish birdpark. Here is a link to the species on the park's website. Is it the only place in the world where it's on public display?
Possibly, yes!
@CheeseChameleon2007 I looked through all our galleries for Madagascar and no sign of Falanouc. Obviously it's not comprehensive, but not even a mention. Could be one over there somewhere.
Walstrode had them in the recent past, at least. I think there's a collection in Illinois that keeps them, as well.
Thats alright.
Zoos don't have to have Every species imaginable, and Its nice to hear that some animals live in the wild apart from zoos.

Any Linsiangs
Are pygmy Chameleons on public display anywhere? I am pretty sure they are in the pet trade.

Linsangs were kept previously in Multiple collections, There are photos in the Gallery of Linsangs kept at the Avilon zoo, not sure if they are still there.
Pygmy chameleons can refer to Multiple species, Rieppelon brevicaudatus is kept at Munster.
Angwantibos were kept at London in their old nocturnal house many years, ago, I would also like to see one, Gentle lemur has a photo in the gallery of one.
Mexican mole lizards have been discussed previously on this thread, 3rd of 4th page I think, You can check there.
Elephant trunk snakes in Europe are currently only held at Plzen zoo.
