Animals No Longer At Your Zoo You'd Like To See There Again

And Joneil238 to add to your list for Fort Worth Zoo, I found out that they had Giant pangolins and Amazonian manatees, and to add to your list for Dallas Zoo I found out that they had Dorcas gazelle

and to add to mine and Jusko88's lists for Pittsburgh Zoo, I found out that they had Blue duikers, Gemsboks, and Thomsons gazelles

 

While working on a history project on the history of the Cleveland Zoo I 've come across quite a few animals once housed at the zoo that I would love to see back again.Also I have more extensive lists of animals that CMZ once held that I have begun to put into categories big cats,lesser cats,birds,hoofstock ETC just PM me if interested in seeing them.

Wow what a list !!!, you forgot Tarsiers and Marco polo argalis though, anyways I am very curious to know what else Cleveland Metroparks Zoo had !!!

 

Good call on the Tarsier! Without a doubt one of the coolest species ever exhibited at the Cleveland Zoo.

Team Tapir223

 

Thanks !!!, It is very unfortunate that tarsiers are gone from north american zoos, they are a neat looking primate , any idea what tarsier species cleveland had ?

 

About the Suni antelopes at Cleveland Zoo, they lived in a big indoor exhibit with one or two Balck-and-White Hornbills and a Ground Hornbill, and about the Pere davids deer, there is a photo of them at the Cleveland Zoo in my Walker Mammal Field Guides. and about the Marco polo argalis, they were there in the 1950s but did not last very long because until the 1970s old world sheep did not do well in north american zoos

 

So I'm guessing that the Suni Antelope were exhibited in the large open air aviary within the old bird building?I seem to to only remember Kirk's Dik Dik in that exhibit.

Team Tapir223

 

I believe that the Suni were there in the 1980s, also where are you finding these lists of animals from the Cleveland Zoo's past ?

 

Cephalopachus Bancanus Borneanus

Team Tapir223

 

Ah the Bornean tarsier, super cool !!!, I know Rotterdam Zoo had them in the 1920s, In fact Rotterdam Zoo had a lot of cool rarities back in the day including African golden cats (Profelis aurata), Sumatran bearded pigs (Sus barbatus oi), Sumatran muntjacs (Muntiacus montanus), Red gorals (Naemorhedus baileyi), Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis), African forest elephants(Loxodonta cyclotis), Sumatran serows (Capricornis sumatraensis) etc. a few of those species are not in captivity, but I would still like to see all those species back in Rotterdam

Wow Team Tapir, that is a very interesting list, I never knew Milwaukee County Zoo had some of those species, good call on the Barren ground caribou because I wasn't sure that anybody in the US had this subspecies of (Rangifer tarandus), the reason I say this is because Barren ground caribous only made it to one zoo in Europe and that was Cologne Zoo

 

Here are some species that I would like to see back at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo:

Saiga
Bharal
Giant eland
Transcaspian urial
Jentinks duiker
Red colobus
Proboscis monkey

 

Dudley doesn't have the facilities to keep them, but I do miss Flossie and Flora. The only elephants a practical distance from me are at WMSP, which isn't ideal as I can't drive.

More sensibly, I miss the zebras. They would have room for them, maybe where the Guanacos are or together with the Giraffes.

I was surprised to learn they once had elephant seals, those would have been quite a site, though I doubt they have the space for them, or a deep enough pool.

 

I would bring back the Thomson's gazelles to ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, and the Woolly monkeys to Banham Zoo. There's a whole raft of animal species I would bring back to Jersey Zoo (Durrell), starting with the Snow leopards, but following them I would bring back the following:

Tuatara
Partula snails
White eared pheasant
Thick-billed parrot
St. Vincent parrot
Cuban crocodile
Mauritius kestrel
Red howler (to replace the more common Black)
Siamang (to replace the more common Lar gibbon)
Cotton-topped tamarin
Goeldi's monkey
Tenrecs
Babirusa
Mongoose lemur
Puerto Rican and Cuban boas
Malagasy Ground and Tree boas
Aquatic box turtle
San Francisco garter snake
Jamaican hutia
Volcano rabbit
Hawaiian duck
Colobus monkeys
Egyptian tortoise
Crested rat
Echidna
Smooth-coated otter (to replace the all-too-common-in-zoos Short-clawed otter)
Anacondas
Hairy frog
Corroboree frog
Gunther's gecko
Woolly monkey
Red-cheeked macaw

 

All I'd like back at Toronto is seals, species dosent matter, though we had South African Fur Seals, but i'd just like to see any seal species back in Toronto, hell, free the poor animals at Marineland and bring them to Toronto
