Last of their kind in a zoo

I believe Busch Gardens Tampa now holds the last blue-streaked lory (Eos lotor) in any zoo in the United States with the passing of Denver's sole (last remaining?) individual.

* - Eos/Trichoglossus reticulata

Also the claim is untrue, Turtle Bay Exploration Park has a pair.

Do you have any information on the pair at Turtle Bay?

Saw them in person late last year with no reason to believe they're gone.

Sorry what I meant was what their genders, origins, and ages are and if they are an intended breeding pair.

No idea, I was there for other reasons and didn't ask about the lories (didn't think about it as they've had the species for several years.) I assume they are not intended as a breeding pair as the facility does not deliberately breed lorikeets.

Just found an article which states that Turtle Bay received their lories from the Philadelphia Zoo sometime around October 2017.

Nope, wrong birds - that group had only a single Blue-streak. The pair are different birds altogether I believe. I'll have to inquire about this at some point for clarification.

Faunaland in Jakarta hold the last remaining Bornean clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi borneensis) outside of Kalimantan/Borneo. This individual along with another individual, presumed to be dead now, was brought from Central Kalimantan in around 2018.

Here's a photo I took of the clouded leopard on 07/02/2025.

Rosamond Gifford Zoo now has the only Marco Polo Sheep (Ovis ammon polii) in the U.S, which previously resided at a wildlife rehabilitation center in Oregon.
