I can confirm this one, two elderly females BTS.
Kept by Special Memories Zoo as well.
The douc langur at Philadelphia died last year. Pretty sure the white-winged vampire bat has been dead for at least a couple years, maybe more.
I don't know who else besides Shedd has that dolphin species, but I'd be kind of surprised to find that they are the only holder. Maybe one of the Sea World parks has them?
Pemba flying fox is now deceased.
Is that Sanford's lemur still alive?
Coppery titi might be the species that Smithsonian holds as well, although I remember confusion as to whether it was coppery or red-bellied and don't remember what the consensus was.
Yucatan spider monkey is considered by many taxonomists to be the same as Mexican spider monkey.
Also re: a previous post: Bright's Zoo is definitely not the only holder of Cape vulture in the country.
Wow can't believe there's a Pale fox that close to me!! I just called and confirmed they do in fact have one! There is also a youtube video featuring the animal.
The myotis at Oklahoma City Zoo I believe is a misdirect based on confusing signage at the
Seba's short-tailed bat exhibit.
Can confirm @Coelacanth18 according to Zims and by FB messaging Phoenix Zoo the last Pemba flying fox has passed away.
Can anyone confirm any Side-striped jackals in the US?
There's a video of the Animal Adventures fox here:

This site says that the "original" Pale Foxes in the USA were imported in 2012 in mistake for Fennecs: Faithful Foxes

Yup that was the video I watched!
It was coppery, but is now deceased.
Both of them? There were two at the time of my last visit (which admittedly was not recent).
The coppery was kept in the Small Mammal House. There is still a white-eared in Amazonia.
Both meaning Resplendent and Golden-headeds I assume.
Resplendent and crested (which I believe is what drill was referring to) in addition to golden-headed. They have far more of the latter of course.
Pity the quetzals as a whole have not been established better, gorgeous birds.
None of the following are kept any longer.
The following are maintained by multiple zoos.

Duke also has them - but they’re eastern, not northern.
Only San Francisco has a pure individual.
