I'm really into Sulawesi due to the unique wildlife, which is home to many endangered species, and that's why I want to make an idea concept of the Sulawesi area for any zoo.

If you know any of the zoos holding at least one Sulawesi fauna or more than that, please let me know what species and what zoo. Not only that helps me but other people too!

Thank you!
 
Category:Fauna of Sulawesi - Wikipedia has a list of different animals from Sulawesi.
I don't have a list of species kept in North America, but you may some that are also kept in ZTL collections

3 ZTL collections have bear cuscuses
31 ZTL collections have Sulawesi crested macaques, 7 have Tonkean macaques, 5 have moor macaques and Howletts has the Heck's macaque. Singapore Night Zoo has the SWulawesi tarsier
14 ZTL collections have Sulawesi babirusas, 20 have lowland anoas and Krefeld has a mountain anoa
ZootierlisteHomepage is a list of Sulawesi species that are/have been kept in ZTL collections
 
many zoos in the US have North Sulawesi Babirusa, a few for example include San Antonio Zoo, Brevard Zoo, Zoo Miami, Zoo Tampa, Jacksonville Zoo and more. Zoo Miami, San Antonio Zoo, and Oklahoma City Zoo has Sulawesi Ground Doves, Tulsa Zoo has Sulawesi Forest Turtles, Zoo Tampa has Sulawesi Tarictic Hornbill, San Antonio Zoo has Celebes Black-Tailed Ratsnake, Zoo Miami and ZooTampa have Lowland Anoa

These species are found in many other zoos in the US aswell, I just listed the zoos I have been that have these species, hope this helps.

Doesn’t Port Defiance also have them? Or did she pass on.

Also, there is a private breeding compound that keeps a large number of them. I forgot the name however.

I do not know sorry! I only listed zoos I have personally been to as to verify that the zoo still has them. I do know several zoos I did not list have those species, but I didn't want to risk giving incorrect information by listing a zoo I haven't personally visited yet

This is the North American subforum. ZTL data isn't really useful to answer the OP's question, as he was presumably asking about zoos in North America.


A few Sulawesi species that haven't been mentioned yet include grosbeak starlings at Bronx and others, and both Forsten's tortoises and Sulawesi forest turtles (@Coelacanth18 would know the holders for these).
 
ZooTampa has a walk in aviary in the Asian Gardens that supposedly is Sulawesi based (the Sulawesi Aviary), but many of the birds are in fact not from there. So, that is probably one of the only specifically Sulawesi specific areas in an AZA zoo (even if it is not currently populated with only/mostly animals from there). As mentioned they also hold lowland anoa and babirusa.
