Yeah, due to being accessible in certain corners of the private trade, surrenders to (or purchases for) roadside zoos are the only time I've seen rhesus macaques mentioned outside of rescues and labs. Just did a quick trawl through zoochat and the only immediate location I can find is, uh, severely lacking.

I am reluctant to join this discussion but regarding Sumatran rhino, I worked with all the individuals in Cincinnati. I've also been involved with the animals at SRS.
Also, G Eland, Zebra Duiker, Blue Sheep
It seems like there's a lot of non-AZA monkeys out there.
A lot of those are ex-lab and ex-pets, and there's no shortage of them.
Those monkeys deserve to live in AZA-level exhibits. Especially my favorite, the Booted Macaque.

Must have been an incredible experience to have got to know these animals.
I didn't know there were any Thick-bills in capivity. I've seen wild Thick-billed Murre a couple times.
They have had them since the exhibit was built in the 90’s. Those same birds are still alive, but getting up there in age. The zoo has only 4 or 5 left I believe.
How many ZooChatters have seen Sabine's Gull? I saw one for the first time a few days ago (a wild vagrant).
I'm not sure if it this sarcasm? The only macaques I've seen in the AZA are Japanese (SSP), Sulawesi Crested (phase-out), and Lion-Tailed (candidate).

Was that the individual at Hale? Cracking bird to see! By no means my First Sabine’s. Anyone else seen Olrog’s Gull? Or Pallas’s (aka Great Black-headed)? Ivory? Ross’s?
Oops, clearly not the Hale Cheshire individual in Wisconsin!
No, there are currently two on Lake Koshkonong in southern Wisconsin.
This is sarcasm.
The only zoo outside of their native range is Catoctin Wildlife Preserve & Zoo, which I'm really tempted to visit, although it's pretty far away from me.
Some less-than-reputable places have them, and a primate sanctuary in Texas recently rescued three.
