I have just gone through the list and made some updates. All the additions and deletions are from what has been reported on the forums. There will probably be lots of other amendments which need to be made - for example, there are a number of elderly animals on the list which may or may not still be alive, but they are generally in zoos which don't bother with press releases.
The changes I made (in order):
*
African Elephant: moved to the "former" list as the last individual, Cuddles at TWPZ, died on 22 March 2017.
*
White Rhinoceros: since the last change to the list, Altina received their three new rhinos - male Mtoto from Auckland Zoo in September 2016, and in October 2016 females Mango from Australia Zoo and Tatu from "a German zoo". If anyone knows which zoo Tatu is from, that would be nice.
*
Pigmy Hippopotamus: a female calf born at Taronga Zoo on 21 Feb 2017 (Fergus x Kambiri), making 3.2 in the country.
*
Giraffe: Darling Downs Zoo was added, with two females arriving from Australia Zoo in December 2016.
*Peel Zoo was added to
Fallow Deer and
Red Deer and
Alpaca following LaughingDove's visit last year.
*
Red Deer: Monarto was also added.
*Caversham was added to
Alpaca and
Llama following Hix's visit last year.
*
Ring-tailed Lemur: Oakvale Farm was added, with three lemurs arriving in September 2016.
*
Geoffroy's Spider Monkey: Queensland Zoo was added, with three males arriving from Auckland Zoo in October 2016.
*
Bolivian Squirrel Monkey: Hunter Valley Zoo was added, with four monkeys arriving in November 2016.
*
De Brazza's Monkey: apparently gone from Mogo Zoo in late 2016? I left it on the list with a question mark.
*
Francois Langur: Mogo Zoo was added, with apparently two arriving in late 2016 from Taronga (noted from a visit, and then corroborated by photos being found on Instagram: see posts #31 and #38 on
Mogo Zoo - Mogo Zoo News)
*
African Lion: the last one at Melbourne Zoo (Harare) died on 25 January 2017, but I'm leaving them on the list as three cubs from Werribee will be moving to Melbourne later in 2017. Billabong Zoo has been added however, having imported two cubs from Ukutula in South Africa in August 2016 (on show as of the end of September).
*
White Lions: Tasmania Zoo has been added, receiving four males from Canberra's National Zoo in November 2016; and Hunter Valley Zoo has been added, receiving 1.1 from Darling Downs Zoo in December 2016.
*
Sumatran Tiger: although there are currently none at Taronga Zoo, I'm leaving them on the list because the tigers will be back on show later this year.
*
Syrian Bear: moved to the "former" list as the last individual, Honey at Melbourne Zoo, died on 9 Nov 2016.
*
Polar Bear: two cubs noted as having been born at Sea World Gold Coast on 26 April 2017
*
Fennec Fox: gone from Monarto Zoo? Left with a question mark.
*
Binturong: Adelaide Zoo removed from the list as their only individual died in January 2016.
*
Small-clawed Otter: Tasmania Zoo added, with three males arriving in December 2016, from the closed Cairns Tropical Zoo (one) and Gorge Wildlife Park (two). Underwater World at Mooloolaba has been removed as they apparently no longer hold the species.
*
Capybara: Hunter Valley Zoo added, with three animals received in November 2016.
*
Matschie's Tree Kangaroo: moved to the "former" list as the last individual in Australia died at Adelaide Zoo on 21 April 2017.
