My short list

1. Okapi
2. Bonobo
3. River Dolphin
4. Burrowing Owl
5. Emperor Penguin
6. Yapok
7. Ocelot
8. Eastern Lowland Gorilla
9. Malagasy Civet
10. Aye-Aye
11. Tuatara
12. Bat Eared Fox


I just noticed how many of these I would see if I went to San Diego. Need to find a way to get there

 

Here are some I can think of for the moment:
1. Greater Adjutant Stork (Safari World Bangkok)
2. Jabiru Stork (Dallas World Aquarium)
3. Milky Stork (Freeport McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center)
4. Siberian Crane (Franklin Park Zoo)
5. Gelada Baboon (Bronx Zoo)
6. Owl Faced Monkey (Zoo Leipzig)
7. Steller Sea Lion (Vancouver Aquarium)

 

Wow there are a lot of cool storks I've never heard of.

 

Are they still there? Is it opened to public ?

 

Yup! They're the best! (I'm biased)

 

The only ones I haven't seen out of all of those are the Snub nosed monkey, Somali wild ass, Ibex and Saiga. I've seen dholes but not the Chinese subspecies.

 

Orca
Chinese pangolin
Flat-headed cat
Bilby
Diademed sifaka
Solenedon
Desman
Others that I wish I'd seen
Philippine eagle
Terror skink
Saltwater croc
Blue-ringed octopus

 

The US Dholes are still Chinese Dholes.
