5 Must See Species Before You Die

In the wild:
- All/Any Great Apes

In Captivity:
- Platypus
- Dusky Pademelon
- Asiatic Black Bear (It's the last bear species I have to see!)
- Maned Wolf

 

One of the last ones left in North America is at the Manitowoc Lincoln Park Zoo in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

 

Sumatran rhino
Spix's macaw
King vulture
Goliath frog
Vampire squid

 

Ivory-billed Woodpecker

 

Javan Rhino
Giant Sable Antelope
Giant Ibis
Greater Adjutant
Choiseul Pigeon (If by a miracle they're ever rediscovered!)

 

Pangolin
Mountain gorilla
Giant eland
Giant sable antelope
Platypus

 

Giant panda
Koala
Amazon River dolphin
Emperor Penguin
Malayan tiger

 

Haven't you already seen the Malayan tigers or did you miss them at Tierpark Berlin?

 

No i think i saw the Sumatran and the Siberian Tigers and missed the malayan Tigers

 

Indian Gharial
Rusty Spotted Cat
Golden Snub Nose Monkey
Mugger Croc (apparently there's one at Thrigby Hall)
Perentie

 

I think you can take two of those off the list in a visit to Prague, and visit one of the best zoos on the continent and an astounding city thrown into the deal as well

 

I would dearly love to be able to visit Prague, and Berlin for that matter. But I have animals of my own, and have no one I trust enough to take care of them for a length of time, for me. So I will just have to be content with Youtube and webcams, and enjoy reading/photos about other people's encounters in continental zoos.

 

Hello qthemusic

Did you see the tadpole fish at the Southend Sea Life Centre? I don't remember every seeing one anywhere else. Nor do I remember it being mentioned on Zoochat.

 

Here are mine (I’ve never seen any of these in captivity).

1. Jaguar
2. Cougar/Puma/Mountain Lion
3. Gray Wolf
4. Spotted Hyena
5. Caracal

 

Go to Turtle Back Zoo in New Jersey someday; the first four are all there.

 

Thank you for the reccomendation!

 

No I'm afraid I didn't, or if I did I don't remember it, sorry.

 

Mammals in zoos (that I have yet to see but want to before I die) :

1. Platypus

2. Solenodon

3. Tasmanian devil

4. Greater bilby

5. Tarsier (any species)

6. Golden snub nosed monkey

7. Pangolin (any species)

Couldn't possibly narrow it down to 5

 

Vampire squid
Any pangolin
Guam kingfisher
Olm
Whale shark

Edit: I just realized that it was species that I personally want to see, not just 5 rare ones.
Vampire squid
Olm
Platypus
Spix's Macaw
Commerson's Dolphin

 

You could see three of those by visiting Taronga Zoo.
