Where do the Deer & Antelope Play?: A Look at America's Ungulate Populations

Did they report sexes?

~Thylo

 

A couple other holders for impure american bison (assuming as not specifically listed as pure):

Bramble Park Zoo (Watertown, SD) approx. 0.0.10
Great Plains Zoo (Sioux Falls, SD) approx. 0.0.15
Lee G. Simmons Wildlife Safari Park (Ashland, NE) approx. 0.0.30
Riverside Discovery Center (Scottsbluff, NE) - 1.2

As a side note, there is 1.0 that is held at Stuhr Museum in Grand Island, NE.

 

Lincoln Children's Zoo in Lincoln, NE has giraffe as well, assume not pure reticulated:

Lincoln Children's Zoo : Animals : Mammals : Reticulated Giraffe

 

No, if they are labeled as Reticulated they would be generic.

 

Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield, MO is another giraffe holder. They sign their herd as Rothschild's Giraffe (sign actually calls out Baringo Giraffe). However they could easily be generic. I'd have to look back through my pictures as it seemed only a couple had the Rothschild's pattern.

 

Birmingham has Hybrid giraffe.

 

The closest Guanacos to you would be at Animal Haven, Detroit, and Grant's Farm.

 

Maryland Zoo and the Animal Adventure Park have Generic Giraffe. Louisville Zoo has Masai Giraffe. As I am assuming all bison are considered impure, Animal Adventure Park also has them.

 

Does TN Safari Park actually have this species? I've just been looking into it and I haven't found any proof they keep the species besides for them being on their species list. Their gallery has photos of pretty much all of their hoofstock and there are dozens of Llamas and Alpacas but I haven't spotted a single Guanaco.

~Thylo

 

I have no idea, I have no clue how to tell them apart. If they're anything like Virginia Safari Park, it could be difficult to get them in photos - VA has 150+ llama (felt like a thousand of them) but only 8 alpaca, and 300+ fallow deer with 20 chital and 50 sika, for example. Even with 50 sika, it was difficult to find them, especially if they were in a group hanging back from the road (like the 6 Pere David's, who were way off in the distance). They could also be kept separate; several of VA's species were in fenced off areas off show, and when I went to Six Flags, all 80+ fallow were in an off show yard that you'd only spot if you were looking hard for something.

 

There's a photo from a March 2018 review on Tripadvisor that shows a pair of genuine Guanaco at TN Safari Park, so that's at least somewhat recent evidence.

 

They're more distinctive looking that I thought!

 

Okay, big update and then new posts!

Thanks to @birdsandbats for giving me a good place to start with his previous thread (see: Caprines in North American Zoos). This has, by far, been the most difficult group to work our, especially as far as the wild sheep go. Any further additions more than welcome!

A few of the Guanaco holdings posted earlier in this thread were difficult to confirm so I've left any I couldn't determine definitively out. A couple of the holdings posted turned out to be more Guanaco-like Llamas as well so those were also left out for obvious reasons. If I made any mistakes in my exclusions or if you have further information I'd be happy to hear it.

I also obviously left out Domestic Bactrian Camels and Dromedary Camels. Perhaps we can add those in as time goes on if people would like but I wanted to focus on the actual wild species here.

The only immediate addition that I see is that Pittsburgh and Cincinnati both hold Visayan Warty Pig.

Thank you so much for putting this together!

Where is Iron Mountain Ranch and is it open to the public? I have not been able to find any information on it.

 

Additional giraffe holder: Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, Iowa.

doesn’t San Diego zoo Safari Park keep babirusa?
