After some comparison and seeing some posts on the internet, these "lutra sumatrana" might be a (Possible intentionally) misidentified smooth-coated otters, which makes Lembang Park and Zoo sadly the only zoo in Indonesia to kept one.

On a positive note, the Indian peafowl at Panda Palace is now free-roamer, near the camel and pony ride.

OK that makes two zoos in Indonesia that keeps smooth-coated otters, except this is a first for public display. Works well as Giant Otter substitutes!

I have visited this park yesterday and there's seems to be a decrease in term of species, with some of the exhibits that I'm interested in are empty or under repairement while some exhibits also seen a decrease in a number of animals. Here's some update and notes that catch my attentions;

I have posted some images of my species highligh of the park in the gallery, might like to check that out! (Taman Safari Bogor - Page 2 - ZooChat)

Safari Journey
  • The siamang exhibit in Safari Journey has been branded as "Rawa Siamang" (Siamang Swamp). Inhabitants include a large group of siamang, a couple of mute swans, a trio of lesser adjutant, and apparently several domestic ducks.
  • The Sumatran orangutan exhibit was apparently empty. I see this as a good thing as it was unnecessary (There are already three Sumatran orangutan exhibit already, including this one) and the exhibit is already very small.
  • A ostrich quarantine enclosure in the African Village has been set up again after a while of vacancy, looks like a new group will be soon added to the area.
  • The emus and an lone southern cassowary in the impala exhibit are seemingly taken off-display, with only the impalas and a group of nilgai currently inhabiting the exhibit. While the cassowary can still be seen in Kampung Papua, its unknown if the emus will be displayed again in the near future.
  • The capybara exhibit has been split into two, in which the other side now houses several Patagonian maras, which were previously exclusive to the park-owned Royal Safari Garden resort. While its cool to see this maras finally displayed in the park, the choice of exhibit make this complex looks a bit off seeing this exhibit that are situated around high ground being split into two.
Bird Aviary and Baby Zoo
  • Several new and returning faces are added in the aviary. A pair of lesser adjutants has been displayed again after a while of being absent in the aviary. Several new faces include glossy ibis, rose-ringed parakeet, and yellow-backed lory. While in a separate, presumably temporary habituation aviary, an never-before-seen Pinon's imperial pigeon is present alongside an aggressive red bird-of-paradise.
  • In the new smooth-coated otter exhibit, a signage for binturong is present but the animal is nowhere to be seen.
  • A brand new exhibit for little black cormorants has been built. It has underwater viewing and also include an cattle egret and several black-crowned night heron. Its weird that the park have not make any news or promotion on their social media of this exhibit, which would've peak some interest if they're also include a cormorant feeding session which guests can see the cormorants dived underwater in search of food, similar to Gembira Loka.
  • The park seems to have finally phased out the practice of using baby carnivores and orangutan as a photo prop, which is a great news. Though they instead switched to use an black-and-white ruffed lemur instead as one of the prop.
  • I've finally saw the park's Sunda leopard cat exhibit. Located at the back of the park's fried chicken shop, the exhibit seems to gain very little attention from both the guests and even the park itself. It only have one signage that is a paper that is sticked to wall of the shop. The exhibit itself was very dim with minimal decoration and enrichment aside from climbing platform. Though suprisingly the cat itself seems to be quite well-fed.
  • In a very strange twist, a couple of white lions are still present in the Baby Zoo, despite the claim and also footage of a pair of striped hyenas being added there. A signage for the hyena is also still present. I'm not sure on what they actually planned for the hyenas, but I hoped that they display them again in the future.
  • A group of squirrel monkey has been added to the Australian Outback in an rather small aviary.
  • The Australian Outback seems to be rather empty with only a couple of kangaroos and ring-tailed lemur to be seen.
Bird-of-prey
  • I've never noticed that there is actually an aviary for the park's raptors located at the side of the sea lion show stage or at the very corner of the park's amusement area. It held a mix of brahminy and whistling kite that would later be used for the nearby bird-of-prey show
  • The Bird-of-Prey aviary is under repairement, with only changeable hawk-eagle, crested serpent eagle, Javan hawk-eagle, and grey-headed fish eagle seen in the nearly 10 plus aviaries that are shown in this section. I really hoped we can see more variation of the park's raptors after the repairement, including the possibility of displaying the park's bald eagle, turkey vulture, and Eurasian eagle-owl in this section.
Komodo Dragon and Kampung Papua
  • In a very minor update, an Everglades rat snake morph has been added as part of the Komodo Dragon Island's supporting reptile roster.
  • In Kampung Papua, a couple of Papuan hornbill has been added to replace the similar but geographicly inaccurate wreathed hornbills.
  • The park's black swans has been added to the section's pond, which also have several Amboina box turtle. A signage for Alligator snapping turtle are present for a long time, but the turtles was never even seen or documented, creating doubts wether they actually do have them or not.
  • A separate exhibit located at the back of Kampung Papua housed a couple of unsigned dorcopsis, a very interesting species that the park sadly gave minor attention too.
  • Kampung Papua's main marsupial exhibit was very empty, with only an dusky pademelon present.
Primate Center and Reptile Tunnel
  • While the collection of the Primate Center remained unchanged, some update occured at the section's small mammal exhibit. Though still under repairement, a signage for Javan slow loris and Sunda pangolin are present, which for possibly the first time a Sunda pangolin is displayed in Taman Safari Bogor.
  • Not much update occured in the Reptile Tunnel, aside from the addition of a pair of young false gharial in one of the larger terrarium.
  • The freshwater aquarium is quite stocked with a group of pacus and alligator gars. Additional species include an giant snakehead and three different species of turtle (Malaysian giant turtle, unidentified elseya turtle, and pig-nosed turtle).
  • In the park's most interesting section, the Nocturnal House, the current lineup include Balinese palm civet, Sunda palm civet, small Indian civet, four-toed hedgehog, Sumatran masked palm civet, buffy fish owl, sugar glider, and a brand new Javan small-toothed palm civet. The Sulawesi dwarf cuscus are sadly taken off-display and their exhibit under repairement.

My comments on these:
  • The leopard cat exhibit looked way cleaner and more lush back in 2018, how could it turned into a dusty yet barren exhibit?
  • The BOP exhibits looked pretty old and glad to see that it's undergoing repairs/renovations. Hoping the foreign BOPs like the vultures and the bald eagle gets rehomed here.
  • I think the sunda pangolin and slow loris would've looked better in the nocturnal exhibit. Save that exhibit for a diurnal arboreal primate.
  • Glad to see the cormorants getting a new exhibit with underwater viewing.
  • I see that the water in the smooth-coated otter exhibit is going down. Hope it gets refilled again (just don't be like in LPZ that seems to have lower water levels).

While it has some pluses and minuses, I just hope TSI Indonesia improves in the future. Still not understanding why the hyenas got pulled out of its new exhibit in a week and gets replaced by white lions.

I guess its come back to the possibility that this exhibit didn't have much attention from the management, just look at the placement.

Taman Safari's BoP aviaries actually quite large and natural in person, similar to previously pre-Jagat Satwa Bird Park but that one was less natural and very open. Another note was the aviary's placement being along higher grounds compared to the guests is actually quite a good concept for a BoP aviary. I guess the only work that I see Cisarua should done is rebuilding the area with newer aviaries, as well as more variation with the BoP especially knowing this area have more than 10 different aviaries.

It might also work well as a tamarin and marmoset aviary, though I prefer this part of the Primate Center to have been built a tarsier and slow loris house similar to Prigen, that Taman Safari park have a variety of slow loris and tarsier species (They have the Philippine tarsier, Philippine slow loris, and reportedly Bengal slow loris & pygmy slow loris)

It seems like the cormorant exhibit was just there and there's apparently no feeding presentation or anything that would make the guests notice the exhibit more.

The light blue paint of the smooth-coated otter genueinely bother me, weirdly the new cormorant exhibit have an actual rocky and a bit natural pond. As if they put much more efforts with the birds more than their smooth-coated otter, which are currently the only one displayed in Indonesian zoos.

Wait a minute, Prigen has a lot of slow loris and tarsier species? How the heck Prigen gets more of the cooler animals than Cisarua? Is TSI putting more of their effort there than in Cisarua now?

What other cats are here?

The displayed species of cats in Cisarua include African lion (Nubian and white), tiger (Bengal, Sumatran, and white), Amazonian jaguar, leopard (African and Javan), South American cougar, South African cheetah, caracal, serval, Asian golden cat, and Sunda leopard cat.

There's might be a chance that the park still have their Sunda clouded leopard off-display.

As far as I'm aware its the same, minus the jaguar, cougar, cheetah, Asian golden cat, & Sunda leopard cat.

I understand that Cisarua couldn't possibly get a wombat or markhor due to lack of space, but some animals might actually be possible to be in some ways displayed in Cisarua. I can see Cisarua displaying their three-banded armadillo and common marmoset in a revamped pygmy hippo exhibit in Baby Zoo (It could be refurbished into something else as it was just too small for the hippos). They also can display their American beaver in a new exhibit if the Wild West area if they're willing too. Heck, if Taman Safari have the resources and means, I can see the maned wolf return to Indonesia and replacing the cougar in Safari Journey.

Some animals might work as a Night Safari exclusive species, like the Javan warty pig and possibly even the striped hyena too. The Himalayan black bear could temporarily occupy the sun bear exhibit or the cape buffalo in the European bison exhibit during this event.

I think the pygmy hippo exhibit could be used for dwarf caimans, or the dwarf crocodile since it has lots of water + underwater viewing. Or probably a capybara exhibit, since it loves to swim.

As far as I'm aware its the same, minus the jaguar, cougar, cheetah, Asian golden cat, & Sunda leopard cat.

Prigen have their Sunda clouded leopard on display, while their African leopard off-display.

I heard that there were Mainland clouded leopards there before, but are they gone now?
