    The only captive albatross, a female Laysan Albatross, is at Monterey Bay Aquarium.

    White-Bellied Tree Pangolins are held or bred at 4-5 different zoos, including Brookfield and Gladys Porter.

    The SeaWorld parks have walruses, as do multiple aquariums.

    A note on the albatross, Monterey Bay's two Laysan Albatrosses are off display except for regular presentations.

    New York Aquarium no longer has walruses; they were sent somewhere else.

    I don't think there are any Gang-Gang Cockatoo on display currently, though I can find reference to at least 2 zoos having them in the past. I would be very surprised if there aren't any in the private trade though.

    San Diego still has them? If so where?

    Also, Asian water buffalos are very common in the US, especially among non AZA accredited facilities like drive thru safaris.

    I know Pairi Daiza (Belgium) calls itself a zoo and keeps walruses, but in the US at least Indianapolis Zoo has them. Is there a reason why you want to view a walrus in a zoo rather than an aquarium?

    I thought one zoo had tarsiers and another maybe San Diego having saigas?

    To my knowledge the answers are no and no.
    Magnificent and superb bird-of-paradise at SDZ (in addition to Raggiana)
