    There's never any issue with bumping these types of threads. If you have information to add, do it.

    Except for the fact this thread is redundant now that we have a thread dedicated to all ungulates in North America. But for most other threads like this, that is perfectly fine :).

    Akron Zoo no longer has Himalayan tahr (their last tahr died).

    I believe Lagoon Deer Park still has aoudad.

    NO!! I was hoping I could make it to Toronto in time, but haven't had the chance to head up that way yet. Depending on a number of factors, that's one of the new-to-me big zoos I'm most likely to visit over the next few years, and while this doesn't come as a surprise, it does come as a disappointment as it's now a species I'll likely never see. At least they should still have turs for a while, so I get one new and exciting caprid to see.
