Procyon cancrivorus

Photo taken in captivity, so the geotag applies to the location of the Zoo, not its natural habitat. The species does occur naturally in Venezuela.

So sweet! As far as location, I think it is still acceptable to add the country ID (or even the exact location of the zoo) since you mention in the description that it was taken in a zoo. Posted one year ago, modified one year ago

      Thanks. I think however your suggestion made perfect sense, along that it is important to register the species as photographed in whichever country it naturally occurs, apart from the Zoo detail. Posted one year ago

        The rule on geotagging (or just setting the "country" field) is simple: it should always be set to wherever the photo was taken, whether this was in a zoo or not.
        
        It looks like it's geotagged to the location of a zoo in Venezuela, seems correct to me. Posted one year ago
