Taronga Zoo Old Taronga species list (c. 2008)

[Osedax]

A couple of years ago I came across this species list on the website ozanimals.com and found it extremely interesting. Recently, I noticed that it had disappeared from that site, so I am posting it here instead. I have organised the list taxonomically rather than alphabetically as it originally was, and I have updated some scientific names, but otherwise the list is the same as when I found it.

Note: The list is dated as April 2009, but I know some of the species (such as the porcupine and rhino) were no longer at Taronga at that time, so I think this is actually a 2008 species list. Either way, I find it very interesting to see the diversity Taronga had at this time, and how many of these species have now disappeared from the region.

The list only contains terrestrial vertebrates.

Thanks for sharing!

I’m thinking this is a 2007 list as Taronga held a female Indian rhinoceros named Kua in 2007 (who controversially died); and a male Sumatran orangutan named Kluet, who transferred in 2007 to Adelaide Zoo.

I initially wondered if this was a general Taronga list covering both sites (Taronga and Taronga Western Plains Zoo); but I see African elephant and common hippopotamus are omitted (both of which were housed at Dubbo).

 

[steveroberts]

@Osedax Very cool and interesting list, shows the vast number of species at the zoo only 16 & half years ago

@Zoofan15 Yeah that was so sad about poor Kua (remember she arrived sometime in late 2006, she was a beautiful Rhino), Tiqua (*sic) the Brazilian Tapir and I think was either Katrina or Cleo the Pygmy Hippo were her closest neighbours (well the Bongos too on the other end of exhibit, only recall seeing Kua around the eastern end of her exhibit).

It's interesting seeing Common Squirrel Monkeys and Five-Lined Palm Squirrels on there as only thought was Tree Shrews and Black-Capped/Bolivian Squirrel Monkeys then.

I was surprised to see Taronga had Collared peccary as recently as 2007. They were obviously a non breeding group (likely elderly), but it’d be interesting to know more about the individuals held there.

Kua’s death was very unfortunate. Her unborn calf was a female too.

Taronga Zoo had 0.1 Pygmy hippopotamus in 2006, which was Katrina. Cleo died in 2005; and Timmy and Petre arrived in September 2007.

Dubbo apparently held them too, into the early 2000's. I imagine Taronga's individuals would've been derived from that group as they apparently had quite a number of them.

They were kept in the exhibit that later housed one of the zoos two Pygmy Hippos for a few years in the late 2000's. Since Timmy and Petre arrived in September 2007, I think we can assume the remaining peccaries died sometime earlier this year, leaving the exhibit vacant.

Following Timmy and Petre's move into the Wild Asia exhibits in 2009, Berani the Malayan Tapir lived in this exhibit until his departure to Hunter Valley in 2015.

Just as much with the birds and herptiles I will be posting soon!

My understanding is that the peccaries were from Melbourne, and returned to Melbourne rather than dying, but I could be wrong. It would be interesting to hear from other members if you know more information.

I was 7 years old in 2007, and remember Taronga as it was in this species list very fondly.

That would make sense as they bred prolifically at Melbourne Zoo. 41 peccaries have been bred there since 1973! They’ve been held in the region since 1969, so other facilities besides Wellington and Melbourne probably bred them, but I’ve found nothing to suggest Taronga Zoo did.

That would actually make a lot of sense!

Melbourne did indeed receive some peccaries in 2007 (I was initially not sure where from), and this allowed the rejuvenation of their breeding program with success for a number of years after this acquisition.

I believe their former breeding female, Jave, was one of those individuals; but from past posts on here it appears all three adults Melbourne had in 07 (Pickles, Jave and another female), were all from Taronga.

To add to this, Melbourne apparently hadn't breed any since 1986, prior to the birth of Messi in 2007; so Melbourne's large majority of the 41 piglets bred would've been in the initial period (from the 70's to 1986).

Taronga's, Melbourne's and Adelaide's groups were all derived from Wellington's initial pair from the looks of it meaning the peccaries are heavily heavily inbred and it's quite a testament that they've been able to be maintained within the region for so long without any additional imports.

Yes, the entire regional population was derived from Wellington’s pair (imported 1969). Melbourne Zoo bred their first litter (female twins) in July 1973, so Wellington must have bred their pair relatively quickly to send offspring on (which then bred themselves). Maturity is reached around two years.

Jave was the female born 2007 at Melbourne Zoo; Messi was a male born 2010.

Jave was the female born 2007 at Melbourne Zoo; Messi was a male born 2010.

Since they can breed as early as three, I think it’s likely the Wellington pair had their first offspring the same year as their arrival meaning Melbourne received their first peccaries sometime after.

That’s interesting to know Jave was the offspring born in 2007. I was under the impression Taronga’s trio that arrived that year were all quite old; so it makes sense that Jave was Melbourne born.

The females apparently died only a few years after their arrival to Melbourne, leaving Jave as the zoo’s only breeding female. She would’ve then been paired with her father (Pickles) to produce the remaining offspring.

Yes, apparently the challenge was finding females Pickles would mate with. Initially there was hope Jave was a male, but if the other females died shortly after their arrival, it’s beneficial Jave was a female in that regard. From a handful of elderly animals, they soon had a decent young cohort all born between 2007 and 2012.

Had the intention to continue with them been there, they could have grown the population back to reasonable numbers by now. Other ungulates like Indian antelope have been repeatedly inbred for over a century without repercussions, so unless a genetic flaw in this line presented itself (that we’re unaware of), I think it’s regrettable they ceased breeding.

I should hopefully have the rest of the list finished by the end of this week.

 

[Zoofan15]

This list really highlights the regional trend of downsizing the exotic mammal collections in zoos.
