Bongorob, Can you give me a species list for realm of the red ape? That galliforme list would be very nice thanks. Could you also do one for hornbill as I can't find when the joined the zoos collection. Thanks.
I don't have a list for the Realm of the Red Ape, though I suspect it may house the following. Both subspecies, (or species if you agree with the latest classification) of Orang Utans obviously. a gibbon species.

The female Vieillot's Crested Firebacks died and the male eventually left Chester. The Bare-faced Curassows were replaced by the Red-billed Curassows.
