    That's funny. For 10 years, we had a single species in this genus. And this week, two got added:

      Yes! I was even double checking the species name to make sure they were not already in JD. In Pairi daiza they have each in separate enclosures. I think one was first considered subspecies of the other but finally got separated as it’s own species. I read this somewhere. I will look for it tomorrow. Well, as always, happy to contribute, even if not all I am sharing these days has been seen in the wild :-) Posted 3 years ago

        Not an issue at all, zoo photos are welcome, and I like the massive content injection. Posted 3 years ago

          Thanks! I am listing them so that I can also later upload them in my Flickr too :-) and here I am now adding some interesting facts to each species, hand modified to not have a literal copy of the source of info :-) Posted 3 years ago

              In the end I think these two are sightings of the same species so helas I am only introducing one Goura sp for now :-) Posted 3 years ago
