There's only five species around in all of Europe. And sadly none of them are particularly close to where I live (the closest one at Best Zoo being bts of course...). Last year was also not the best year for zoo visits with all the full closures or closed houses due to the 'rona. Maybe this will be the year though. :fingerscrossed:

Where did you see the bear cuscus from? Batu Zoo I assume
Theres an Individual at Memphis Zoo as well. They are also held at Berlin Tierpark and Pairi Daiza.
Oh, Memphis Zoo is where I saw bear cuscus. I’m not sure if the mountain bear cuscus is really valid a species but it might be just me
Wait really? I need to see paper about that they're different species. I thought they're kind of population thing.
