When Busch Gardens reopens their kangaroo exhibit there could possibly be 7 macropod species on display. Would that be the most on display in the country?

Side note, has anyone visited Kentucky Down Under recently? They had an impressive macropod collection at one point

to my knowledge Busch has red kangaroo, eastern and western grey kangaroos, bennett's and tammar wallabies, and common wallaroo, that makes 6, do you know what the 7th species is?

They've fallen pretty far in that regard, then. Just red and eastern grey now, and a couple Bennett's.

Does any institutions in North America has Dusky Pademelon?

I wish there were, but unfortunately not, maybe if the species gets more established in Europe interested institutions could potentially import in the future.

Does any North American institution hold Brush-tailed Possum and Eastern Quoll?

Does any North American institution hold Brush-tailed Possum and Eastern Quoll?

Not at the moment, no. It’s been at least a decade or two since Eastern Quoll has been kept and the last Brush-Tailed Possums passed away a few years back.

Not at the moment, no. It’s been at least a decade or two since Eastern Quoll has been kept and the last Brush-Tailed Possums passed away a few years back.

I don’t recall Easten Quoll being anywhere in the US during my lifetime. What we had recently was Tiger Quoll.

Are the captive tree kangaroo species becoming only seen in the USA?

Do you know source about it?

the US only has Matschie's Tree Kangaroo, Europe has Goodfellow's, and Australia cares for Goodfellow's and Lumholtz's Tree Kangaroos. The US used to have more species such as Goodfellow's and Grizzled in the past, but they weren't sustainable like the Matshchie's tree kangaroos were.

Don’t hold your breath for brushtail possums. They are listed as injurious species. With them being non-endangered nocturnal small brown mammals, I doubt any zoo with power would get out if their way to bring them to the US.

There are also Goodfellow tree kangaroo in Japan and SEA but SEA has good population of grizzlied tree kangaroos

Any idea on captive Matschie's Tree Kangaroo outside of NA? I know Europe has single but they're elder and off-display

Should we have another marsupial in USA tread since this tread seems to be mess up and kinda outdated?

It's fine, though the holders list could certainly be updated.
@Dhole dude did you want to continue with list updates or would you prefer to let someone else step up?

Just a quick note, you should always wait if the original person who is still doing lists wants to continue it or not before you go ahead and post.
