A second visit after a few months yesterday (25/08/24). Suraloka is a very small zoo, wouldn't take more than a hour to go through the entire place, but it have a number of interesting species.
The main, entry-fee part of the zoo (we'll get to it in a minute) started with some attractions for kids as well as petting zoo with rabbits, guinea pig, sheep, an goat, and an female chital that lived with three alpacas. A photo spot was present were you'll be able to interact and take a picture with an albino iguana and an albino reticulated python, as well as some smaller green iguanas, buffy fish owl, and oriental bay owl. Two small holding aviaries houses Javan myna and sooty-headed bulbul chicks.
The animal show is nothing out of the ordinary. Animals performing are an blue-and-yellow macaw, an eleonora cockatoo, a pair of dogs (And poodle and one that I'm not aware the breed of), several cats, guinea pigs, fancy rats, pigeons, and an Javan binturong that is the main highlight for me.
Other exhibits near that are for a group of Asian small-clawed otters (Where a presentation show occured), some horses and ponies (Including a ride), a pair of red-necked wallabies (One normal and one albino), a group of banded mongooses, a group of black-tailed prairie dogs, an female ostrich, and a group of recently-arrived Javan rusa deers that underwent a habituation period. At the edge of the zoo, an waterbird exhibit with domestic ducks, mute swan, black swan, white-faced whistling duck, and an ruddy shelduck. The sign also mentioned white-cheeked pintail, ringed teal, and barnacle goose, but were nowhere to be seen.
Near the walkthrough aviary, other exhibits are for three Patagonian maras (In an exhibit that I assume used to house capybaras), a group of meerkats, some African spurred tortoises, some domestic chickens of various breeds, and the cat complex that have caracal and serval. Sadly, the pair of bobcats that were used to be there was no longer, its very much unknown if they still have them off-display, sent elsewhere, or passed away.
In the small, but very crowded walkthrough aviary, free-roaming birds include Javan myna, yellow-vented bulbul, golden pheasant, silver pheasant, Victoria crowned pigeon, pied stilt, an female ringed teal, Mandarin duck, white-faced whistling duck, zebra dove, spotted dove, Bali myna, black-winged myna, vinous-breasted myna, Javan pied starling, white-rumped shama, oriental magpie-robin, and, my favorite, an ornate pitta. Several birds that I guess supposed to be for photos are a pair of Vosmaer's eclectus, an blue-and-yellow macaw, and an severe macaw. Two small, I guess quarantine aviaries houses a pair of burrowing parrot and sun conures. Several separate aviaries also present, holding some interesting birds;
- An laughing kookaburra
- A pair of West African pied hornbill
- A large group of budgerigar, cockatiel, and Fischer's lovebird, as well as an female golden pheasant and an large fig parrot
- An spotted wood owl
- A pair of Port Lincoln parrot
- An southern green pheasant
- A pair of great-billed parrot
- A pair of blue-and-yellow macaw
- A pair of green-winged macaw
- A pair of galah
- A pair of grand eclectus
- A pair of Vosmaer's eclectus
- A pair of goliath palm cockatoo
Another part of the zoo I found interesting are this three-storey building. The first houses small primates and reptiles.
- Tufted capuchin
- Common marmoset
- Golden-handed tamarin
- White-lipped tamarin
- Guianan squirrel monkey
- Melanistis varanus salvator macromaculatus
- Crocodile monitor
- Reticulated python
The second floor contain an cat house and an bengal cat exhibit, as well as several small mammals. These include meerkats, an serval, ferrets, eastern raccoon, leucistic palm civets, and an small-toothed palm civet. The Javan binturong used to be displayed here, while it was mentioned in the sign that they have least weasel (Which might just be the more interesting and rare Indonesian mountain weasel). The third floor underwhelmingly have three aviaries, two for farm-breed peafowls and one for a pair of Javan peafowls.
