Aha! So this is where the RSCC animal ended up....? Just the one?
Shame its not on show.....any plans?
According to Zootierliste, Jersey Zoo has the only British examples of:
Echo parakeet
Madagascar crested ibis
Thick-billed euphonia
Orange-bellied euphonia
Silver-throated tanager
Hiapaniolan slider
Guatemalan arboreal lizard
Haitian giant galliwasp
Cuban iguana
Lesser night gecko
Spotted martinique's anole
Round Island skink
Morogoro viviparous toad
Sardinian brook salamander
Probably missed a few, and I am not sure how many of these species are actually on show.

Am I right in saying that Chester is the only zoo in the UK to house Mauritius Kestrels?
These haven't been at Chester in some years, sadly.

agreed Maguari :O( fabulous little birds - I have a nice photo of one of them but it looks like it's posing against a gingham tablecloth due to the effect of the mesh roof behind it!
Chester keep a ssp of Martinique's anole, thought I'm not sure which. They aren't listed on zootierliste but they are there

Going back to zoogiraffe's original entry, Colchester isn't the only zoo with a Southern tamandua – London Zoo has one, and she has often been mentioned on this site.
I'm going to Colchester zoo soon – never been before – I shall take your list and see if I can spot everything mentioned! Anything else there I really shouldn't miss? (I don't like primates much, though...)

Colchester's are (as far as I'm aware) the only representatives of the subspecies longicaudata in the UK though.
No worries.
They're actually quite disctinctive, I always think - there's a lot less black on them.
