Hello, everyone. I have some new updates for our list, so let's go!
- I finally got to figure out what baboon species were held by Piracicaba zoo. Besides geladas, Guinea, yellow, and hamadryas used to be kept there. Black-crested mangabeys, southern pig-tailed macaques, mandrills, and common patas monkeys were also part of the zoo's Old World monkey collection.
- Araçatuba zoo used to hold Patagonian maras, whilst Parque Zoológico de Sapucaia do Sul held Cape crested porcupines.
- Some of us may think guanacoes aren't in Brazil anymore, except for the one in São Carlos. However, there are four of them in Sapucaia do Sul: three in their own enclosure and one sharing a paddock with two asses.
- Both Araçatuba zoo and Bosque Fabio Barreto held European bison, and so did the now-closed Pampas Safari.
- Domestic yak were indeed held at Belo Horizonte zoo. A pair arrived from Parque Zoológico de Sapucaia do Sul, back in 1971. In fact, the Gaucho zoo kept lots of them in the 1970s.
- Leopards were also kept at both zoos. Along with the yak, a female leopard arrived in Minas to live with the zoo's male. Curitiba held Panthera pardus as well in the late 1990s.
- I'd like to start a new discussion about Asiatic black bears, which used to be widely kept amongst major Brazilian zoos. As a matter of fact, Rio, São Paulo, Sorocaba, Belo Horizonte and Curitiba zoos all held them.
- American black bears were held at the same number of zoos as Asiatic ones. Rio, Volta Redonda, São Paulo, and Sorocaba zoos held these with the addition of Zoo Safari, São Paulo zoo's own safari area. Some bears were also held by circuses, but none are probably left. There could be two individuals at Pedro Ynetarian's GAP sanctuary. I'm not sure, however, about that.
There are many more updates left, but these are the ones for now. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Atualmente está classificada como Quase Ameaçada pela lista de espécies ameaçadas da União Internacional para a Conservação da Natureza (IUCN), porém suas populações têm diminuído, e já desapareceu de algumas áreas, por conta da destruição do seu habitat, pela redução da disponibilidade de presas e pela caça, que visa a obtenção da sua pele e partes do seu corpo para a medicina tradicional, além de ser perseguida por ter sido representada historicamente de forma negativa.
