    Inspired by the thread in the UK section, which species at your zoo are still exhibited, since the zoo first opened?

    I'll start with the Toronto Zoo (to my knowledge):

    African Dwarf Crocodile
    Ostrich
    White Rhino
    River Hippo
    Emu
    Demoiselle Crane (the very first animal to come to the zoo was Marg)
    African Elephant
    Western Lowland Gorilla
    Sumatran Orangutan
    Amur Tiger
    Lion-tailed macaque
    Masai Giraffe
    Bactrian Camel

    I *think* African Lions and cheetahs are others, along with the Tahr.
