I will later put the number of species at the zoo at the end of each animal , but now I am working on another thread that might take me a few days to finish. Correct me if I'm wrong. The list of animals is an attempt put in order of how they are exhibited at the zoo or how I saw it.

@Mobelle: Thanks for taking the time to make the list. It really gives a flavor for what the Columbus Zoo is like. A few questions: 1. Do you know why they have black rhino and African lions in Asia Quest? Are they there temporarily while they build an Africa section? 2. What is Discovery Reef? Is it an entire aquarium or one big tank that is adjacent to the manatees? 3. I've read that the Columbus gorilla exhibit is basically a big wire frame cage which has a very active social group of gorillas. What do you think of their cage environment compared to something more naturalistic like Cincy or Congo Gorilla Forest? Ohio seems like a state with several good and interesting zoos to visit (Cincy, Columbus, Toledo, The Wilds).
1. Asia Quest was a predator and prey area. Before it was renovated the Pachyderm building held hippos, tapirs, African and Asian elephants, and of course the black rhino Also the rhino exhibit seems to be put out of the Asia region and put the elephants in it. 2. Discovery Reef is a small, separate aquarium next to Manatee Coast. 3. I am kind of off and on about the gorilla exhibit. a. It kind of looks ugly and something from the late 1800's. b. Although I hear that the apes really enjoy the enclosure. c. It gives the apes a wonderful chance to move around the whole exhibit without coming close to the ground. d. There are no trees or even bushes, just grass, which doesn't give them a whole lot of climbing space. and e. I think it needs to be more naturalistic, gorillas especially need to feel more at home. You are very welcome. I enjoyed making the list and realizing how much more the zoo has to offer. Good thing I have a decent eidetic memory.
No the Columbus Zoo now exhibits mandrills in the African Forest instead.Atlanta,San Diego,New Orleans and Detroit are the only US zoos that house drills.
We have not seen a pallas cat on display here in C-Bus in quite some time are they still at the zoo? Team Tapir
They also have two cheetahs off exhibit that they bring on stage with anatolian shepards at the show by the entrance to the water park area.
I went august 2011 & october 2011 and never saw the pallas cat either. people said it was in log but i couldnt see anything im wondering if the zoo is going to put another species in there? you know what i wish they would do is somehow make that exhibit bigger,longer and wider and put the snow leopard in there!!!! right next to the predators prey cause markhor is what they hunt in the wild. What other animals do they have in the show?
There are a couple of different shows but i only have seen one and it was about how the raised the cheetahs and the dogs together. when i went in june 2011 i saw the pallas cats, but not the orangutans.

-There is a single eastern moose cow mixed in with the Alaskans. -I do believe that you mean Grant's zebra and not Grant's gazelle. Also, you forgot the Masai giraffes. -Are you sure that they are sugar gliders? They used to be feather-tailed gliders... That, of course, could've changed. I was just wondering.
I will go back and look at the signage for the gliders, and thanks for the heads up on the moose and zebra thing.
I believe the Tiger Quolls died; the species has not been exhibited in several years (and is, I believe, absent from North American collections entirely). The current line-up for the nocturnal section of the Road House is: Northern Brown Kiwi/Tawny Frogmouth Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat Binturong Tawny Frogmouth/Brush-tailed Bettong Matschie's Tree Kangaroo Pygmy Slow Loris/Indian Porcupine Feathertail Glider There are also several terraria with smaller species of reptile and arachnid; I don't recall the exact species maintained at present (and there has been some turnover).
a few queries//// I can't find any species called black-streaked lory, did you perhaps mean blue-streaked? Also, on "Alaskan brown bear", does anyone know what type these are? the peninsular "gyas" race or the Kodiak island type?
