    I forgot that tapirs were pachyderms, in that case here is a more accurate version of what I said above:
    • San Francisco Zoo has Hippopotamus, Eastern black rhinoceros, and Indian rhinoceros
    • Oakland Zoo has African bush elephant
    • San Diego Zoo has Hippopotamus, Pygmy hippopotamus, Indian rhinoceros, Malayan tapir, Baird's tapir, Asian elephant, and African bush elephant
    • Los Angeles Zoo has Indian rhino, Baird's tapir, Mountain tapir Hippopotamus, and Asian elephant
    While I'm at it, I'll add a couple more zoos
    • Fresno Chaffee Zoo has African bush elephant and southern white rhinoceros
    • San Diego Zoo Safari Park southern white rhinoceros, eastern black rhinoceros, Indian rhinoceros, and African bush elephant
    • Tampa Zoo has African bush elephant, Indian rhinoceros, and southern white rhinoceros
    • Houston Zoo has southern white rhinoceros, Asian elephant, and Baird's tapir
    • Cheyenne Mountain Zoo has African bush elephant, Eastern black rhinoceros, Hippopotamus, and Mountain tapir
