Which facilities house these animals ?

[Pygargue]

Hello everybody, given ISIS isn't available anymore for 'mere mortals', I've got a list of species I'd like to know if they were or are still present in captivity and if the institutions holding them have bred them or still do.

Might be easier for people to help you if you list the common names too I'll see what I can find in my copies of the ISIS records for carnivores.

Civettictis civetta. Genetta victoriae. Viverra zibetha. Ichneumia albicauda. Conepatus leuconotus. Mirounga leonina. Hydrurga leptonyx. Cystophora cristata.

Civettictis civetta. - No captive African Civets are recorded on ISIS - however Zootierliste lists three collections in Europe holding the species: Olomouc Zoo in Czech Republic, Sofia Zoo in Bulgaria and Ingelmunster in Belgium.

Genetta victoriae. - No captive Giant Genets are recorded on ISIS.

Viverra zibetha. - In terms of Large Indian Civets, Bangkok Zoological Park in Thailand is listed as having 0.1, Sikkim Zoo in India is listed as having 1.1, Nehru Zoological Park in India is listed as having 1.0, Nakhon Ratchasema Zoological Park in Thailand is listed as having 1.0, Zoo Melaka in Malaysia is listed as having 0.1 and Sepahijala Zoological Park in India is listed as having 1.0

Ichneumia albicauda. - In terms of White-tailed Mongoose, Tiergarten Heidelberg in Germany is listed as having 1.0, Sharjah Breeding Centre For Endangered Arabian Wildlife in UAE is listed as having 3.4, Sofia Zoological Gardens in Bulgaria is listed as having 0.1 and Tbilisi Zoo in Georgia is listed as having 1.1

Conepatus leuconotus. - Nothing in ISIS - though I'd be amazed if nowhere had American hog-nosed skunk.

Mirounga leonina. - No Elephant Seals of either species left in captivity. The last Southern Elephant Seals in European collections were in the late 1990's.

Hydrurga leptonyx. - Only zoo with captive Leopard Seals is Taronga Zoo, Sydney

Cystophora cristata. - I think there is still a vagrant Hooded Seal held at Skegness Seal Sanctuary. Didn't copy the ISIS records for pinnipeds, so don't know where else might have the species.

Not strictly true, they're found at the Toba aquarium in Japan & the marine park in Argentina. There are definitely none left in Europe and I don't think there's any in the US unless there's a rehab centre on the West coast.
On a side note, Toba keeps both Southern & Northern but both are kept in pretty bad conditions... (I know, I can't believe Japan housing animals in poor conditions either! )

Here's some photo's:-

Great to hear there are still some around, it's a shame they have disappeared from most collections. I suppose the largest pinnipeds face similar issues to cetaceans in terms of enclosure quality required for them to thrive.

I think that it may also relate to enclosure size, they'd need something approximately the same area as walrus and they'd probably need to be kept in a group setting. I don't imagine many zoo directors wanting to pay for a large pool, filtration and heavy duty fencing for a creature that the general public wouldn't flock to see. And then they'd have to build seperation pens and then rehome any bulls that were born and so on and so fourth...........
That's just the way I see it, but I may be completely wrong!

That's kind of what I meant regarding enclosure quality as it is, the largest commonly held pinniped in Europe, the Patagonian sealion, is seemingly on it's way out.

It's a shame but fortunately my 3 local pinniped exhibits (Twycross, Dudley and WMSP) all have Patagonians although West Mids is only in the show. Well he was last time I saw it.

Think West Mids no longer holds the species, and there is also the imminent, although currently delayed, departure of Sofus at Edinburgh to pastures Polish sometime this summer.
