    When you mention Persian and Sri Lankan panthers, could you perhaps be thinking of the leopards :D. Panthers could mean either leopards and Jaguars

    It’s all forgotten :D, I was confused, as panther is more used to refer to the puma and I was like wait, pumas live in Asia? :p

    That seems odd there is only one zoo with every member of panthera.

    You've missed a few, in fact :) at species level they hold the following:

    Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)
    Caracal (Caracal caracal)
    Asian Golden Cat (Catopuma temminckii)
    Jungle Cat (Felis chaus)
    Sand Cat (Felis margarita)
    Afro-Asian Wildcat (Felis lybica)
    European Wildcat (Felis silvestris)
    Jaguarundi (Herpailurus yagouaroundi)
    Geoffroy's Cat (Leopardus geoffroyi)
    Ocelot (Leopardus pardalis)
    Southern Oncilla (Leopardus guttulus)
    Northern Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus)
    Margay (Leopardus wiedii)
    Serval (Leptailurus serval)
    Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis)
    Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx)
    Bobcat (Lynx rufus)
    Indochinese Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa)
    Pallas' Cat (Otocolobus manul)
    Lion (Panthera leo)
    Jaguar (Panthera onca)
    Leopard (Panthera pardus)
    Tiger (Panthera tigris)
    Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia)
    Mainland Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis)
    Rusty Spotted Cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus)
    Fishing Cat (Prionailurus viverrinus)
    Puma (Puma concolor)

    ...so 28 species as opposed to the 25 listed by yourself :) the only species present in European zoos which they lack are Sunda Leopard Cat and Iberian Lynx.

    In terms of species count, or numbers of individuals?

    6 species, only saw 2 but the owner confirmed he had the other species in a breeding facility which is off-show as the moment. I think it should still count as it is a really unique amount of hummingbirds species, weather on display or not. Untill very recently, he had 8 species.
    I have the 8 species list (which is the one on ZTL) but I forgot which one he lost, I'll try to remember.

    There's 7 or 8 with all of panthera. San Diego is the only one with panthera + the 3 other cats often grouped with "big cats". Project Survival might have all 8, at least 7. 4 others have panthera plus 2 of the 3 other species.

    Does SDZ have both Neofelis nebulosa and Neofelis diardi, or just one of them? I believe they’re considered separate species, and not subspecies, now.

    I will be very surprised, if there are any diardi outside Asia, but it is hard to know with 100 % confidence what SDZ actually has. For sure they have nebulosa in Animals in Action private tour. The only zoo that have the both species is Batu Secret Zoo.

    Faunia in Madrid (Spain) has 7 species of penguin as well (Humboldt, Magellanic, King, Gentoo, Rockhopper, Adelie, Chinstrap). They could be the record holders if they'd just add blackfooted.

    There is a post somewhere on zoo chat that has a good amount of the species found in SDZ. Just look up San Diego Zoo species list

    They most certainly don't have Sunda Clouded!

    Thank you @Westcoastperson ! I am aware of this lists and was in San Diego Zoo this February. I meant, that is hard to know what they are hiding behind the curtains :)
