Oksy can we forget about my fantasy with the wildcats now because I'm obviously just really stupid.

Don't worry, it's not you - @zoogiraffe's always like that.

He can be nicer in person though, he just gets irate on here...

Thanks I think yes I do get quite irate on hereDamn stop telling people that I am nicer in real life it means people might actually start speaking to me when they see me in a zoo

You have something in common with most of us them.

Just was checking something on ZTL and looks like they are listing Goodfellow's tree kangaroo as part of the collection as of 2017, a single female. That therefore makes two in England may not be true though!

Oh I don't know about that!

 

[gentle lemur]

Oh I don't know about that!

zg learns the value of a diplomatic answer! Shock! Horror!

 

[Swampy]

So, are we going to start a hypothetical conversation about where, hypothetically, a hypothetical tree kangaroo might go on display?

Well you can if you want. But long term only 1 place for it to go and that is Islands.

 

[ShonenJake13]

I'm with @zoogiraffe, the best place for it to go is Islands, especially since the Papua section is quite empty (especially if the cassowary isn't visible, which it frequently isn't) and this is where the tree kangaroo would/will likely go.

 

[jde7582]

They could create an exhibit to the right as you go over the creaky bridge after the warty pigs just before the cassowarys. Enough room and would also slow views from the boats.

 

[bongorob]

I am confused. Is this Goodfellow's tree kangaroo Dendrolagus goodfellowi,or hypothetical tree kangaroo Dendrolagus hypotheticalis we are talking about?

 

[ShonenJake13]

Goodfellow's of course, I still haven't been able to start counting the hundreds of D. hypotheticalis that inhabit this forum...fancy a go Rob? I'm sure there are a few theoretical bongos, or Tragelaphus eurycerus theoreticalis, that you could try counting as well

 

[Charlie Simmomds]

Nice to hear about tree kangaroo at Chester! Also news from social media there is a new baby sulawesi macaque. She is female and named Amidala (Which reminds me of star wars)

 

[Water Dragon]

If Chester is getting Goodfellow's tree kangaroos, will it be the first time that Chester has had them?

 

[Fallax]

Tree Kangaroos? Awesome! I agree with the others that they will be in Islands.

 

[Kifaru Bwana]

I am confused. Is this Goodfellow's tree kangaroo Dendrolagus goodfellowi,or hypothetical tree kangaroo Dendrolagus hypotheticalis we are talking about?

The issue with the latter is ... that they are a functionally extinct species, yet multiplying by the thousands ...

this is still a very large if, as the sole source of this information so far seems to be a brief comment on Zootierliste, which has a long history of inaccuracies due to the fact anyone can edit it. To answer your question no, I do not believe Chester have ever kept tree kangaroos before.

For once its correct!
