No Rufous Bettong ?
No, I didnt see this species during my visit of Haus des Meeres. It was short visit, I missed many animals. But I am happy for what I already have
No Rufous Bettong ?
Personally, if I recall correctly, we did agree to include sharks as a whole without a mention of which taxons of sharks count, so I would allow this addition. However, if I’m forgetting a detail or if there’s a valid reason not to include Squaliformes, I would wait for @ThylacineAlive ’s confirmation as well287. Sand tiger shark/ Carcharias taurus
* Angular roughshark/ Oxynotus centrina
@ThylacineAlive , @ZooBinh , what about Squaliformes ? They are probably not a lot of spieces in captivity ?
Nice visit to Hamerton today - a ton of additions but still not nearly as many as I could have - possums as ever elusive, as were cuscuses, jackal, etc. Did see the lynx though...

Still, 18 additions (out of a possible 33...) but still a nice visit. Posting pics later. I might be able to rescue my pretty paltry score over the summer depending on whether or not I actually make it to the places planned.
Just discovered that the New Zealand-parrots count also for this challenge so I can add a species which I had already seen at 2 parks this year :
- 50 - Kea - Nestor notabilis
A revisit to Rotterdam Zoo ( together with @Rayane ) gave me 2 new species which I missed the last time. For one of them - the Pallas's cat ( which I also already missed at Zie-Zoo ) we had to return at least 4 times to the enclosure but shortly before closing time - on our last attemp - one animal suddenly appeared and showed itself VERY well and even poo-ed in front of us !
- 51 - Swamp wallaby - Wallabia bicolor
- 52 - Pallas's cat - Otocolobus manul
Later on in the same month I visited the Gambian Reptiles Farm and this gave me one new species for the Challenge :
- 53 - West African crocodile - Crocodylus suchus
Your red fox does not count, as that is a domesticated form of red fox.Yesterday I visited Faunapark Flakkee - the Netherlands and can add again some new species to my year-list :
- 54 - Eurasian harvest mouse - Micromys minutus
- 55 - Ocelot - Leopardus pardalis
- 56 - Bobcat - Lynx rufus
- 57 - Cape genet - Genetta tigrina
- 58 - Caracal - Caracal caracal
- 59 - Jungle cat - Felis chaus
- 60 - Raccoon dog - Nyctereutes procyonoides
- 61 - Red-necked wallaby - Notamacropus rufogriseus
- 62 - Red fox - Vulpes vulpes ( breeding form )
- 63 - Siberian weasel - Mustela sibirica
- 64 - Ring-tailed coati - Nasua nasua

Thanks, missed that but now I've corrected it above with a species I'd forgot about...![]()
Animal Haven Zoo - July 4 2022
51. Leopard Panthera pardus
52. Serval Leptailurus serval
53. White-nosed Coati Nasua narica
54. African Crested Porcupine Hystrix africaeaustralis
55. African Pygmy Hedgehog Atelerix albiventris
I just did some final edits to the sheets to squash out repeats. What is on the list is what is most accurate, and that does mean people's counts were tampered with to take out repeats, so I'll let those participants know so that there's no surprise:
@birdsandbats you included Hippopotamus twice.
@Brum you included African Crested Porcupine twice.
@twilighter you included Mongolian Gerbil twice.
That should be it!

There is second exhibit with Ring-tailed possum at Hamerton now and I saw fur few times there, but not the whole animal. I need to try again... ARK Wildlife Park on the other side, safe the day and gave us whole 3 spieces of Genets.
If Port Lympne still has the Owston's Civet, is not on display.

I seem to be asking this question a lot but out of interest, if it was by public transport, how did you reach ARK wildlife park? I've had a few looks in the past but I've never found an easy route there...
Interesting news about Hamerton - would you say it is easier to see the possums now or are they still as secretive?

I think someone put rusty spotted cat on ZTL instead by mistake! Don't think they've ever had the cats, definitely the genetsSo you guys did Hamerton and ARK in a day? Not gonna lie, that's way beyond impressive!
Also good to know the Rusty-spotted Genet is still there as I couldn't find it on ZTL.![]()
