    Thank you for sharing. These photos are all very interesting.
    It would be nice to see if you have any photos of great apes or other primates.
    Has Beijing Zoo ever received animals from South Africa?

    Do we know which collection in the Soviet Union that Beijing Zoo's Lesser kudu (Ammelaphus sp.) and were they the Northern (sp. imberbis) or the Southern (sp. australis)? Regarding the facility in the Soviet Union that had them, were they wild caught or captive bred?

    Do you have any historic photographs of Saiga tatarica or gazelles from the genus Procapra at Beijing Zoo?

    Wow never expected an Indian Rhinoceros to be able to kill a Black Rhinoceros in a fight, more would have assumed the other way around (but to be honest had never thought of it as a possible altercation anyway).
