Hi JoeryvanLooy, and welcome to Project Noah! Nice shots! If your map location is correct this animal must be captive. When submitting photos of zoo animals, we ask our users to make it clear in their notes. There is also a Captive animals mission you can join and add this spotting too. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7973468 Thank you, and welcome again! http://www.projectnoah.org/faq
