Very excited this is now available in the other community I'm proud to also be part of:
The mammal list rankings: Mammal Families – Mammal Watching

Will be curious if any of you decide to fill out your families checklist there. It's intended for wild only, but I did make a little column within my checklist to showcase the captive families I've seen as well. Was interesting to see that my wild mammal families count did just overtake my captive count at 121 vs.120 with the addition of wild Beluga in Tadoussac, Canada.
 
Here’s my list:

The three were solenodons, hutias (which are treated as their own family here, but now lumped with spiny rats, a new family either way) and colugos.

Ahh that's right, I remember reading about your trip to the DR. And colugos! What a cool animal! My top target on my first trip to Singapore!!

I have been to Singapore many times, and despite trying never saw colugos there. Luck of the draw.

I'll make a bold but substantiated statement: you are guaranteed to see Colugos at Singapore Zoo if you cover the entire Zoo, including all footpaths, and you keep an active lookout for them. I have tested this over the past 2 years and countless visits. I have seen Colugos (at least 2 most of the time) on every visit that meets the above conditions.
