      Map from 1996.

      See this c.1994 map of Orana Park for a detailed description of animals and changes: Orana Park map, c.1994 | ZooChat

      This map is slightly later than the c.1994 one linked above. It includes the Crested Porcupines (imported in 1995) and Servals (two animals obtained from the North Brighton Zoo when it closed in 1996 - they were only on display for a short period and then remained off-display until their deaths in 2011); and also features the "African Lion Habitat" to the right of the Patas Monkeys which was originally built (in part) to house an elderly lioness from the North Brighton Zoo. The Patas Monkeys left the park in 1997.

      The Sitatunga appear to have left the park by this time (only the Addra Gazelles and Springboks are labelled).

      Note the animal symbols - Waterbuck is represented by a Water Buffalo silhouette, and the lemurs are represented by Red Panda symbols!

      How much different does the park look now 22 years later?

      The symbols remind me of Taronga maps of the late 1990s and early 2000s, like this one:

      Taronga Zoo - old map - 1999 - ZooChat

      I wonder if they were designed by the same people. Those lemur/red pandas are the same symbol as the red pandas at Taronga.

      @Abbey Yes, I immediately recognised the lion symbol from the old Taronga maps as well.

      @Abbey Yeah the exact same drawing that Taronga used for their Red Pandas in the '90s is being used here for Orana's Lemurs
