Marsupials in the United States

Brum said:
Whereas in Europe both subspecies are found in four collections, whilst the poor Southern hairy-nosed is 1.1 (still off-show) at Longleat. I think Europe have a better collection of Australian marsupials but America can get held of opossums far easier by the looks of things.

Great thread by the way. :)

Well it's certainly a lot easier when you can simply open your garbage can and grab one :p

I suppose so, but that's not what I meant and I'm pretty sure you knew that...! :p

I was talking about the Latin American species that don't appear in Europe at all and if they do pop up then they seem to go pretty quickly due to short life spans.
 
Zoos that I've been to with red or grey kangaroos include: Catoctin Wildlife Preserve & Zoo (red), Virginia Zoo (grey), Pittsburgh (grey), and Philadelphia zoos (red):

The common opossum at the National Zoo is named Minnie.

The National Zoo also has Bennett's wallabies and the Pittsburgh Zoo also has red kangaroos.

Thylo, one more question: which zoo in the US keeps bare-tailed woolly opossums (Caluromys philander)? I think I saw photos (I believe taken by Giant Eland) in one of the ZooChat galleries from some obscure collection in Florida, but that was several years ago and the species, like all opossums, is short lived. Do you know of any place that keeps them currently?

Shell Factory Nature Park, that collection in Florida, still exhibits the species. I just got an email from them confirming that.

Does the Houston Zoo not hold Common Wombat anymore? Also Toronto should hold Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat.

Also might be worth mentioning that Santa Barbara, Toledo, and Lowry Park are only holding koalas temporarily (unless any of those are permanent additions...?).
 
Miller Park, Metro Richmond, San Francisco, Sedgwick County, and Louisville have Common Wallaroo.

Louisville has Bennett's/Red-necked Wallaby.

Toronto and Birmingham have Brush-tailed Bettong. Lake Superior (Duluth, MN) is listed as being part of the SSP but doesn't list them being on exhibit.

Gladys Porter, Toronto, and San Antonio have Matschie's Tree Kangaroo.

I think Toledo has them permanently. What koala subspecies are in US Zoos?
 
Aquarium of the Pacific should have a ringtail possum as an education animal.

I didn't see any wombat at Houston in 2018.

Lowry Park had Koalas when I visited in 2013 so if they still do I think it's fair to suggest they're not temporary.

Toronto has Eastern Grey kangaroo, Bennett’s wallabies, Southern hairy-nosed wombat, Matschie's Tree kangaroos and sugar gliders.

High Park Zoo and Riverview Park and Zoo both have Bennett's Wallabies.

Granby Zoo has Eastern grey kangaroo and Bennett's wallabies

African Lion Safari has Western Grey kangaroo and Red kangaroo

Jungle Cat World has a Red Kangaroo

Zoo de Falardeau has red kangaroos
