[ECOLOG-L] Seeking zoo on East coast USA with well-maintained platypus Ornithorhynchus exhibit

2011-09-27 Thread Tristan Burgess
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm fairly sure there are no Platypus 
in US zoos, or 
anywhere  else outside Australia (legally and officially that is). If there 
are, your best bet would be 
to email the folks at the Australian Wildlife Health Centre/Healesville Zoo, in 
Healesville, Victoria. 
I'm prepared to bet they would know of holdings outside Australia, if indeed 
there are any.

Cheers

The International Species Information System is useful in answering these kinds 
of questions.

This tool will help you find out how many animals of each type are currently 
living in ISIS member institutions.
