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

San Diego Zoo is the only zoo in the USA with all of panthera, plus cougar, cheetah, and clouded. Project Survival Cat Haven might have all 8, as well? Memphis, Philly, and St Louis have 7/8 (missing clouded), Tanganyika is missing cougar.

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

Jungle Cat (Felis chaus)
Sand Cat (Felis margarita)
Afro-Asian Wildcat (Felis lybica)

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.

Santa Barbra zoo has the most Island Foxes
I believe Seaworld San Diego has the most penguin species with 7 overall

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.
