Please note, there are printouts of 2 separate lists, and I never got into checking names of many subspecies, and also origin of stock of some zoo lines of antelope. My apologies for all miscalculations and not checking subspecies according to the Lintworm's excellent thread. As you might guess, maintaining and polishing such a list is no fun.

 

In Gir forest, India.

 

Thank You and thanks for the list! I didn't know exactly how our 2 lists would compare until now. You started also in 2019 like me, right?

 

Thank You, very good! I wouldn't count species without known subspecies when You list the same species again with a subspecies, but still impressive list!

 

Whoops, don't know how I didn't realize that. Guess I just love springbok.

 

Here's my list:
* in the wild and in zoos
** in the wild only

1. Domestic cow
2. Zebu
3. American plains bison *
4. Gaur

33. Bohor reedbuck**

Unfortunately I am not that well traveled, but as BovidBabe I feel like I need to add my list
1. American Bison (plains, wood)
2. Stone's Sheep

17. Impala (black-faced)
18. Nilgai
19. Domestic Yak
20. Domestic Sheep
21. Domestic Goat
22. Domestic cattle

This list would of been longer if I had better luck when traveling - I always seem to be traveling with people are not as patient as me when it comes to standing at one exhibit looking for a well hidden animal . I am also sure I have missed a few I can't remember from when I was younger and don't have pictures of. But for only visiting 1 non canadian zoo, I think it's a pretty good handful!

 

I actually started long time ago, but had I chance to extend the list in the last few years. I'm still missing some subspecies in Europe, but species in Africa or Asia are much more desirable targets

 

I feel your pain… I’m not too well-traveled myself, just lucky enough to live in a country overflowing with Bovid species

 

Bovini
1. Domestic cattle
2. African buffalo
3. Gaur

Tragelaphini
4. Nyala
5. Common eland

I have checked; no, no Hartebeest seen on that trip as far as I recall; it was primarily a Birding trip.

 

It is! And you have some nice rarities like japanese serow or stones sheep! Did you see the stone sheep in winnipeg? And do they still have them?

 

My list, actually a bit more than i thought consider there isn't too many antelope here
1. Addax
2. Barbary sheep
3. Blackbuck
4. American bison
5. Gaur
6. Banteng
7. Lowland anoa
8. Takin

24. springbok

 

Since I started my 2021-Onwards Zoo Life List, I've seen 19 members the Bovidae family, though 11 of those are domestic cow, goat and sheep breeds that I'm not sure if I should have included.

1. Barbary Sheep
2. Chinese Goral
3. Banteng
4. Kirk's Dik-Dik
5. Nyala
6. Blue Wildebeest
7. Black Wildebeest
8. Bongo

And the domestic breeds are:
1. Domestic Yak
2. Dwarf Zebu
3. Belted Galloway Cow
4. Herdwick Sheep
5. Cameroon Sheep
6. Persian Blackhead Sheep
7. Ouessant Sheep
8. Soay Sheep
9. Bagot Goat
10. African Pygmy Goat
11. Anglo-Nubian Goat

 

Don't worry it is absolutely fine. All the more that You have clearly separated them from the species list

 

I still haven't seen any wild bovids. The only one I've been in range for is Bighorn Sheep and I missed it (not for lack of trying, though!).

 

I haven't either! All we have over here, and in the UK, is deer
