When I browse the Zoochat this afternoon, I came across two seperate threads mentioning the red goral of San Diego Zoo in 1960s-1970s, by @Michael and @ungulate nerd. I am so surprised because the current red goral captive population stems from the seven individuals (3,4) caught in Linzhi, SE Tibet by Shanghai Zoo in 1981. The Shanghai zoo maintains a population of 23 red gorals now, and the Beijing Zoo got this species from Shanghai in 1990. Thus I wonder where the San Diego's red goral from? Maybe from Myanmar? And what happened on it then? Thanks!
Didn't Rotterdam had 2.0? And I'm trying to remember where there enclosure was. I suspect it is where now the Hyena's are, between the old Henri-Martinhouse and greenhouse where now the Okapi's and the off-shop bird area is located, but I cannot find my old pictures.
I also thought Rotterdam had 2.0, one of which died because he met a male takin, so one of them must have been kept at the rock behind the rhinos
Wheren't the baboons still on the rock when the gorals, tufted deer, the white-lipped deer and the takins arrived? I thought most of the species were kept in the ungulate paddocks behind where then the kangaroos where? I remember some of the tufted deer where moved later behind the rock to replace the casuaries and then the white-lipped deer moved to the paddock next to the rhino's when Taman Inda was finished (and I suspect the Takin moved then to the rock), but still I can't remember where the red goral where.
