Not sure where to put this. This is my first thread after all. But here is my checklist to the Ramphastos Genus. Consisting of:
- Species i have already seen
- Species i haven't yet seen
- Species i plan to revisit
and finally ones i can't find in europe.
Let's start with the ones i have already seen:
- Toco Toucan / Ramphastos toco : Zoo Opole for an example. Not the only one tho as this is the most popular species in Zoo's in Europe with a total of 40 ZTL holdings listed.
- Keel Billed Toucan / Ramphastos sulfratus : I have seen a single animal in Toruń Zoo (Now deceased). Also tried Zoo Heidelberg where the toucan simply wasn't there. I talked to a staff member and got informed that the toucan was transfered to another zoo (I still dont know where.)
- Green Billed Toucan / Ramphastos Dicolorus : This species recently made a reapearence in Poland Being held at 2 institutes. I visited it at Opole Zoo and saw what i think were 2 breeding pairs (I have pictures but cannot post them yet).
- Channel Billed Toucan / Ramphastos vitellinus : This is i think the only one i had to visit a zoo outside of Poland to see. It's still currently being held at Zlin Zoo in the Czech Republic where i saw it.(Also same situation. I have pictures but cannot post pictures yet)
That's the first part. Species i have already seen. Im probably gonna finish writing this thread tommorow. Until then please reply if i had made any mistakes.
