    I'm not sure about the caribou but I think the other two my go into the Asian Highlands exhibit for Amur Tigers. The exhibit will be built after Asian Tropics.

    @Al: You're welcome. To answer your question: well, I saw most of the posted species at Tallinn less than two weeks ago. And I have it from a good source that they might get Saigas soon...;)

    I still have the lingering hope that some Nearctic or low temperate zoos in the western zoo world will be able to set up a successful saiga breeding programme (from a perspective of conservation breeding and eggs in several baskets ... it makes pure sense). :D

    At the moment: some Central Asian republics and Moskwa Zoo in its out-station have breeding groups of saiga on breeding farms only.

    sadly the Los Angles Zoo heavily reduced there hoofstock collection, some of the creatures that they used to have included

    Giant eland
    Gaur
    Pere davids deer
    Prezwalskis wild horse
    Malayan tapir
    Cretan wild goat
    Southern white rhinoceros
    Sumatran rhino
    Rocky mountain goat
    Dalls sheep
    Siberian ibex
    Common warthog
    Jentinks duiker
    Zebra duiker
    Eastern black rhinoceros
    Armenian mouflon
    Aoudad
    Hartmann's mountain zebra
    Alpine chamois
    Bairds tapir
    Guanco
    Bactrian camel
    American bison
    Common pronghorn
    Suni antelope
    plus many other species of ungulate

    many of them either died or were given away
    if those animals died, cant they just get new specimens of those species or if they gave them away, that was a HORRIBLE :( choice on there part, they shot themselves in the foot and should have thought more before taking such an action

    i miss diverse hoofstock collections
    and btw does anybody else know that the la zoo had hoofstock wise that is no longer at the los angeles zoo ?

    Update to the Toronto Zoo list, they now have two male Black Duiker. Per ISIS, the zoo is now down to two Impala and both them and the Greater Kudu have been on and off display throughout the summer.

    About half of these are at Fossil Rim it seems. I did not look it up on ISIS, but I was there less than a week ago and I swear I saw like a hundred blackbuck.

    Too many to keep track of at FR. There are more blackbuck in Texas than in India.

    No FR's ISIS records for several species are not correct. The have probably hundreds of blackbuck. Nor do they list all their red or fallow deer.
