I accidently wrote the black rhinoceros. When I wrote the list, I also think about the something else including the rhinos. So I didn't focused on the list and write the thing I think of, which is the black rhinoceros.
 
Not my local zoo, but I wish the Osaka Aquarium still had sea otters and largehead hairtails. I would have loved to see them. They also used to have finless porpoises, but i'm kind of glad they're gone, their exhibit was pretty depressing. It was far too small.

I have a few examples myself;
Barcelona Zoo;

  • Gold-headed quetzal
  • Cuban crocodile (currently off-exhibit)
  • Rhinoceros/great Indian hornbill

  • Asiatic black bear
  • American black bear
 
Pretty much all of the species Marwell in the UK has gone out of since John Knowles left, so most of them, sadly.

And London Zoo, to restore all the pachyderms, so I get to see Javan and Sumatran Rhinos as otherwise, no chance.

Plus thylacine and quagga if we are going into the realms of fantasy!
