The Gemsbok was added to the zoo with the Ostriches being moved to this enclosure. The former Ostrich enclosure had a sign about a new exhibit being planed their. This zoo has had amazing additions in the past 2 years seems as it keeps getting better!
Uummmm, those are not Gemsbok. Those are Scimitar-Horned Oryx. Why'd you think they were Gemsbok? Did the signage say so? ~Thylo
Thank you for the correction and sorry for the mistake. No sign was listed yet as the exhibit is not officially opened.
I know this is a lot to ask, but is anyone able to/ willing to list the mammal species for this zoo? There is little to no information about this place online.
I agree. Off the top of my head I know Serval, Amur Leopard, Klipspringer, Red Fox, and now Scimitar-Horned Oryx but besides that I have no idea. Maybe Red Panda, too. I know they at least used to keep Eurasian Lynx, spider monkey (Geoffroy's??), and dik-dik (Gunther's??) until recently but I think those have gone now unfortunately. ~Thylo
The Red Panda is no longer with them. Some of the ones I saw on a current visit were Prehensile porcupine, Meercats,Howler monkeys,tamandua,Bat-eared fox,Fenec fox,Artic Fox,Patagonian Cavies, Clydesdale's,Fossa,binturong,several barn yard animals,Ring tailed lemurs and another type of lemur the type escapes me also I cannot remember several other species of small monkeys.
The spider monkeys are still there i believe 3 or 4. I have not scene the dik-dik on several visits. The Lynx is also not on display but I believe perhaps it is off-stage.
The zoo is extremely impressive however in its ratite collections. Having a Ostrich,Cassowary,Emu and Rhea.
The blue tree moniter exhibit now holds sail fin dragons and there seems to be only one anaconda on exhibit.
