Please note that this species is found extending in a broad swathe east, from eastern India to islands in the western Pacific (including northern Australia). It does not occur in Africa or the Americas.

Hello Matt. The location of the animal is not supposed to be where it lives when it is wild. The location is where your feet are located when you snap the picture. So if it is a zoo...then you say the zoo's location.

You are correct to add the "wild" location in the Notes section.
