Im rather certain Elephant and Buffolo are not at the zoo im pretty sure they keep Black Leopard/s.
I am visiting early Summer Holidays (mainly for the zoo!) so i will take pics of some of the enclosures for you, And try and get a species list for you.
Hope this is useful to you.

Fantastic list Bradipo, @ catman elephants and buffalo are statues by the cafe/shop and I imagine the black leopards are of mixed subspecies (probably labeled under west african) - though I may be wrong.
