Bronx Zoo Species list Bronx Zoo

- I saw 2 maxwell's duiker in february mixed inside the giraffe house.

 

Lucky!! I go out of my way on every visit trying to see those duikers! They're never out when I'm there.....

- The aardvarks were not out when the duikers were. I guess maybe they rotate.

 

I suppose. Hopefully my next visit falls on a duiker day.

I too saw the slender-horned gazelles in 2013 (August 3rd, to be exact). I may visit as early as this weekend so I can check up on them.

 

Thanks Thylo for this great list-do you have also a list of the current species kept in"Wild asia" ?

So I think they are
Asian Elephant
Indian rhino
Babirusa ?
Malayan tiger
Himalaya-Thar
Blackbuck
Brow-antlerd-deer
Sambar
Hog Deer
Axis Deer
Barasingha
Nilgai
Gaur
Indian Muntjac ?

 

Yes, all of these a swell as Walter the red panda and Mongolian Wild Horses(there may be other hoof stock that I am not aware of).

 

Those are all on the list except for the Malayan Tiger because it seems they've only been exhibited Amur Tigers in Wild Asia. Unless I'm also always visiting on Amur and not Malayan days!

Indian Peafowl, Western Tufted Deer, Western Red Pandas, and Formosan's Sika Deer are also in Wild Asia.

Thank you both-I forgot the Przewalski-Horses.Where excactly are the Red Pandas in Wild Asia , and and what it is now in the Red Panda exhibit in Himalayan highlands -also red Pandas, I guess ?

I've been to the Bronx-Zoo 5 Years ago and I've seen during my visit Malayan tigers in Wild Asia and a Amur Tiger in the tiger Mountain.

Maybe you should phone the zoo before your visit to catch a Duiker and a Malayan tiger-day !

 

The Red Pandas have an enclosure in the lower right corner of the tahr enclosure. Red Pandas are also in Himalayan Highlands still.

Is there a bird species list?

 

I was thinking about it but that'll take me forever! I'll get around to it at some point, I have the resources. The main problem here is the fact that species go on and off-show often so it's hard to know what's off-show for a time being and what has left permanently.

~Thylo

 

Sunda Slow Loris Nycticebus coucang has been added to the zoo's collection in JungleWorld and Mongolian Gerbil Meriones unguiculatus is still in the Mouse House which I believe I left out of the original list due to me thinking they left the collection.

~Thylo

 

The duikers were out today but the Aardvarks were out with them.

Also, I suspect that the Slender-Horned Gazelles rotate with a small second herd of Lowland Nyala.

 

Apparently the zoo has Mohol Bushbaby Galago moholi on-exhibit now as well.

The 2014 annual report arrived this week. It says that @ 30 June 2014, the Bronx Zoo had 1571 mammals of 176 species, 1549 birds of 300 species, 633 reptiles of 171 species, 2499 amphibians of 50 species (and also reported 1500 births of amphibians, so a lot of these are probably hatchlings/tadpoles, etc.), 5174 inverts of 71 species, not counting ~58,300 Madagascar hissing cockroaches, and 1070 fish of 63 species.

 

This may be an off-topic question, but why in the world does the Bronx have that many hissing cockroaches?

 

I believe we may now add pudu, giant anteater, and linnaeous's sloth ammongs others!

 

I was aked if the Bronx-Zoo keeps Small-toothed Palm civets Arctogalidia trivirgata, but I have no idea-so does the Bronx-Zoo has them ? And where ?

Second question was about the monkeys from the old Monkey House-where they are now ?
