    Does Gladys Porter still have mantled howlers and what is the position of great white sharks at Monterey Bay Aquarium?

    The Monterey Bay Aquarium hasn't kept great whites in years.

    1. Goitred gazelles?
    2. ZooTampa had Bornean bearded pig in 2014, Gladys Porter in 2018, and Wild Wilderness Drive-through and Capital of Texas Zoo in 2016, so I think so.

    Minnesota keeps Goitered Gazelles (I think).

    People on Zoochat who have visited the zoo have not seen any gazelles. Any South China tigers?

    I've seen the gazelles, but that was several visits ago. It's possible they are gone.

    White-bellied go-away bird appears to be missing, are there any left? I think I saw them at Discovery Cove years ago.

    Gladys Porter Zoo in South Texas had at least two about a year ago: Bornean Bearded Pig | ZooChat
    A few non-AZA accredited zoos keep them. Southwick's Zoo in Massachusetts comes to mind.

    Still about a dozen in the country. They're tricky to breed and despite imports the population sadly never took off. Houston, San Diego, Toledo, National Aviary, and I believe one other holder still have birds.

    GPZ still has Bornean Bearded Pig, but I saw no signs of any at Southwick's last year. Tampas hasn't had them in many years either. Capitol of Texas Zoo should still have some I think. They're actually available in the private sector to some degree.

    The Persian Goitered Gazelles are now bts at Minnesota last I heard.

    GPZ should still have a single male Guatemalan Howler with a single female Black Howler.

    Replaced common green magpie with indochinese green magpie, Fort Wayne no longer exhibits the species and I don't know about Denver.

    bts=behind the scenes; off-show.

    For the record no zoos in the US have Short-Eared Elephant-Shrew anymore unless they imported from Europe recently. The last animal died at Bronx a couple of years ago.

    Added several starling species I forgot to put in before: golden breasted, lesser blue-eared glossy starling, and splendid glossy. Does the bird of prey center in Boise still exhibit Taita falcons and Orange-breasted falconet.
