What animals does The USA have while all other countries don't?

[Nikola Chavkoski]

SC black rhino also at Frankfurt.

I know, but just one in whole of Europe.

 

[Aardwolf]

Likewise, black-footed ferret is also in Canada (Toronto). Which US zoos have confirmed south-central black rhinos? And are there Panamanian golden frog holders outside the US and Panama?

Yes, there are PGF in Canada

 

[Chlidonias]

There is only 0.1 Allen's Swamp Monkey at a zoo in Poland, otherwise the species is only kept in US Zoos

Also kept, at least, at the "Monkey Nursery" in Vesyoloe in Russia.

 

[Chlidonias]

Californian condor, Massai giraffe, South-central black rhinoceros.

(Also more okapis (around 110) than Europe (around 70), and I think more Indian rhinoceroses (~85 vs. ~65 for Europe). More Eastern bongos, than Europe? More koalas, more Malayan tigers, more orcas, more Matschie's tree kangaroos.)

The first three you list are all also kept outside the USA.

The second paragraph is irrelevant to the question of the thread.

I know, but just one in whole of Europe.

So, it is a species also kept outside of the USA.

Fort Worth Zoo has South Central Black Rhinoceros

 

[Nikola Chavkoski]

What about booted macaque and Tapanuli orangutan?

There is no pure Tapanuli Orangutans in the US, there are some hybrids but no pure ones

 

[wild boar]

I think Calamian deer are only found in captive arrangements at the Phoenix Zoo and Los Angeles Zoo outside their native range since the 1990s, at least concerning Europe animals. It was only three males recently but they could have passed by now.

The White Oak Conservation Center has at least one south-central black rhinoceros.

So what’s the reason here, were they just deprioritized or is there actually something that causes them to struggle in other regions?

The species has always been fairly tricky to keep and breed in captivity, both in the USA and Europe, but the (formerly rather sizeable) captive population in Europe faltered to nothing a decade ago; a particularly virulent strain of hereditary kidney disease entered the European captive population in the mid-to-late 1990s due to new imports intended to combat inbreeding depression, and as a result more and more animals failed to reach breeding age before perishing. The last pair in Europe, at Port Lympne, bred once at the age of 4 or 5 years old, before both dying shortly afterwards; the resulting male kitten (the last BFC in Europe) would himself die only 18 months later in late 2014.

There is only 0.1 Allen's Swamp Monkey at a zoo in Poland, otherwise the species is only kept in US Zoos

There is also a pair in a Russian collection southeast of Sochi.

Merriam's Kangaroo Rat.

These are currently present in three European public collections too, along with several private holders I believe.

(Also more okapis (around 120) than Europe (around 70), and I think more Indian rhinoceroses (~85 vs. ~65 for Europe). More Eastern bongos, than Europe? More koalas, more Malayan tigers, more orcas, more Matschie's tree kangaroos.)

None of which is relevant to the subject of this thread

Thank you for the replies on obscure other facilities that keep the species... my institutional listing was just according to ZIMS institutions

 

[Nikola Chavkoski]

What about booted macaque

Reminded by the thread "How Many Duikers Do We Need", it seems that USA is the only holding place as well of zebra duiker, black duiker, bay duiker and red-flanked duiker, outside their native range countries.

 

[amur leopard]

Pretty sure these aren't even held in the US...?

You're right, I got false impression for that zebra duiker is present in US zoo(s) from a post in the thread " How Many Duikers Do We Need", my fault.
