Not that I live in Europe but I've only seen the Indochinese race because they lumped chinensis in with it

Indeed; and at one of those collections you shall meet a strange carnivore-loving Englishman

And at another I will meet a maniac..., this forum is just full of lunatics
I didn't see the blue duiker (and they weren't signposted yet at the bongo enclosure), but the weather was very cold, so any sensible duiker would have stayed inside...
