    Does anyone know or have a full species list for the park area at Burgers' Zoo, specifically the eastern area (I'm already aware of the Western Lowland Gorillas and chimps, though I don't know the subspecies)?

    The animals in the Park area that i know are:
    • African penguin (Spheniscus demersus)
    • Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)
    • Ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) & Black lemur (Eulemur macaco)
    • Black-capped squirrel monkey (Saimiri boliviensis peruviensis) & South American coati (Nasua nasua)
    • Meerkat (Suricata suricatta)
    • Sri Lankan leopard (Panthera pardus kotiya)
    • Golden jackal (Canis aureus)
    • Finnish forest reindeer (Rangifer tarandus fennicus)
    • Greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus)
    • Swamp wallaby (Wallabia bicolor) & Black swan (Cygnus atratus)
    • Cinereous vulture (Aegypius monachus)
    • Western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)
    • Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes)
    Most of the Chimpanzees in Burgers' Zoo are hybrids. An for me unknown number of the females are West African chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus). That is also the subspecies they want to continue with. There is also a West African chimpanzee male in the group but he is sterilized, An initial investigation showed that it was a hybrid, then it was sterilized. Later it turned out that he was of the pure subspecies. They are now waiting for a pure West African chimpanzee male to come to the zoo.

    In the Park area is also a bird house. I don't know all the species that are kept in there, but these i do know:
    • Green tree python (Morelia viridis)
    • Kea (Nestor notabilis)
    • Gouldian finch (Chloebia gouldiae)
    • Blue-winged kookaburra (Dacelo leachii)
    • Satyr tragopan (Tragopan satyra)

    There is no eagle aviary. The only birds of prey currently kept are Cinereous Vulture, Turkey Vulture and Burrowing Owl (the latter two in the Desert).

    I didn't:
    The eagle aviary you probably mean is the aviary for the cinereous vulture (Aegypius monachus). That is the only species in that aviary.

    I forgot the golden-bellied mangabey (Cercocebus chrysogaster) in this list. They live together with the gorillas.
