There are a couple left in Australia - mainly held by ace colony I think. But from what I know, they're very old, well past breeding age. Very unlikely to be a species we'll still ave in five years time.

There are rumours of these still being around, but I doubt they are in viable numbers. They are not with Ace though, my mail suggest they are not in NSW at all.
