Species found in one south american zoo

The female orangutan that lived with Sansão died. He is all by himself at the moment. I think the zoo might bring a new female in the future

I think the bison are neither kept at the zoo, nor at the safari park. If they have actually brought the bison, I'd say they might be living in the farm.
 
Are there any other zoos in South America other than the Biopark Temaikèn that keep secretary birds, greater kudus and sable antelopes? The only other South American zoo that I'm 100% sure that has kept antelopes of these species is the São Paulo zoo. There is a video on Youtube which was recorded in 1988 where you could see the sable antelope and there's a chance that I saw one of the kudus during my first visit to the zoo, in 2011. There are many pictures of the kudus on the internet

Yeah, I've seen him alone last week and imagined what happened to the female. I'm not sure if São Paulo plans to bring another female to be with him, once he is already too old at all...

Ah, yes, I get it. I've heard about many orangutans being hybrid in zoos indeed. By the way, do you know what was the actual purpose of the female brought to São Paulo and what happened to her? I'm imagining she has passed away, once I have never heard anything about her anymore, and didn't see her in my visit.

I have no idea and that is actually quite curious that there is no information about where this individual went.

I saw pictures of it in the safari park, but if it's not there anymore, He might have died or been sent to another zoo...

Sorry, I know its sad and especially considering the male being alone, it is just my bad sense of humour because the word probably indicates an amount of uncertainty about the death.

Actually, have you heard about the "activists" campaigns to send Sansão to the """sanctuary""" ?
In this case t's not GAP, but a place called ANAMI, in Paraná. Unfortunately, their campaign is getting quite notorious in the last few days...

It is a place associated with GAP. They have chimpanzees and one lonely female orangutan so that could be the reason they want to "rescue" Sansão.

I have just remembered of the African wild dogs living at the São Paulo zoo.

The São Paulo zoo is not the only one in South America to keep African wild dogs, since the Buín zoo holds some of them. I've asked this before on this thread, but does anyone have any information about secretary birds kept at South American zoos other than Temaikèn? Also, does anyone know anything about the nilgai population in South America? I have two pictures of a male and a female at the Curitiba zoo, but I highly doubt they are still there.
 
Does anyone know if the vervets at the Volta Redonda zoo, the ducks (probably common pochard, tufted and crested ducks), magpie geese, blue crane and saddle-billed and European white storks at the Itatiba zoo are the only ones kept in South America? Also, are there any leopards at any zoo in the region?

According to the Huachipa zoo's (Lima) website, they have spotted hyenae. They probably have at least two individuals. These may be the first (and currently the only) ones in South America since the deaths of the specimens that lived in Rio de Janeiro.
