That is a nice cat collection, especially flat headed cat. Too bad they no longer have marbled cat as I believe they once did?

No clouded leopards on exhibit? Strange …

Langurs, other than Douc?

No, and no. There were empty enclosures in the Cats Complex through where there would have been space for Clouded Leopards, and there were three separate enclosures of Doucs.

Yeah, the cat collection was really quite impressive especially seeing all of that cat diversity in a small area around the Cats Complex. I don't know of Khao Kheow having Marbled Cat, though I think Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima) did at one point.

Red Junglefowl appears twice?

Thanks for pointing that out! The error is due to the species being in two different parts of the collection, in a small aviary as well as in a big walkthrough aviary. Unfortunately I can't edit the original post anymore to fix it.

Yes, Khao Kheow did have a marbled cat once. The cat was part of a large shipment of wild animals which was being illegally transported from Laos. It was then confiscated in Bangkok airport by Thai authorities and then kept at Khao Kheow Zoo.

The information was not obtained through the internet. I emailed a photographer who had photographed Marbled cats in captivity and he said it was in Khao Kheow Zoo. I have also found other references which mention marbled cats in Khao Kheow. The cat was kept there in 2010 and I assume it has died (the photographer was not aware if it is still alive). The marbled cat was a single male, so I didn't breed and I do not think it has been sent elswhere.
 
I have now finished uploading pictures from Khao Kheow Open Zoo so have a look at those if you're interested. I've uploaded quite a few pictures of animals as well as enclosures.

that reminds me of a little zoo in New Zealand (Brooklands Zoo) which for a while was also calling its black-capped capuchins "Margarita Island capuchins". I have no idea why, I'm guessing either so they could claim them as being more endangered than in reality, or otherwise simply because they googled and chose the wrong one by mistake.
