Animals You've Seen That Few Zoochatters Have Seen

[Platypusboy]

I have seen platypus, barbary deer, and giant eland at SDZSP. I’m not sure how common giant eland are in Europe though.

Super jealous about the platypus!

I’m not sure how common giant eland are in Europe though.

They are entirely non-existent in Europe.

I've only ever seen them in the US (San Diego '98 and Miami '13).

The specie's at SDZSP is Eastern Giant Eland

The Giant Eland, Barbary Deer, & maybe Platypus have all been seen by more than a few people, mainly because SDZSP is a widely-visited collection.

And also because most Australian ZooChatters will have seen Platypus.

No, the species at SDZSP is Giant eland. "Eastern" is not a species.

No, the species at SDZSP is Giant eland. "Eastern" is not a species.

Sorry I meant subspecies

What about Sea apples? May be hard to notice. I barley saw these majestic sea cucumbers at Sea life california.

2. Humpback Whale in Mexico

I've seen both, as quite a few other Zoochatters have. As well as quite a few of the other species being mentioned currently.

Klipspringer? I think I saw one at the San diego zoo during my trip. Is there multiple Klipspringer species?

What about Sea apples? May be hard to notice. I barley saw these majestic sea cucumbers at Sea life california. Does me going to the tide pools and seeing a reddish colored black spotted sea slug count?Pretty big. Probably a sea hare though since sea slugs are small.

I’ve seen sea apples in pet stores.

 

[WalkingAgnatha]

I know.

Then why'd you post it in this thread??

Pale Fox and Ivory-billed Aracari at Animal Adventures Family Zoo and Magellan Goose at Buttonwood Park Zoo are probably the rarest animals I've seen in zoos.

 

[Bengal Tiger]

I've seen both, as quite a few other Zoochatters have. As well as quite a few of the other species being mentioned currently.

Yeah, I’ve seen em too in California.

Sea apples have been seen probably by 40% of mankind (of course not knowing what is it) and 99% of zoochatters. They're supercommon, undoubtely the most common kept sea cucumber in captivity, and VERY noticeable due to their size, colours, and habit to rest in exposed places of the tank. I've seen them in various aquariums and various pet shops.

 

[Ursus]

I don't think many ZooChatters have seen Ross' gull

 

[Antimony96]

The now-deceased douc langur in Philadelphia; apparently one of the only zoos outside their native range to have kept them (with the same captivity issues as the more famous proboscis monkey)

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

I have seen Ross’s Gull; what about Olrog’s Gull? And Great Black-headed Gull?

 

[IndianRhino]

Branching off of the main question on this thread, has anyone seen any now extinct animals in the past? If so, that is really cool and I'm very jealous!

This species is also kept in Europe & East Asia, and the aforementioned Langur at Philadelphia has been seen by quite a few ZooChatters.

There's a start, maybe we'll end up with a few additional ones now that it's coming up again.

Animals ZooChatters Have Seen Living Before Extinction

 

[Giant Eland]

I saw "Lonesome George" the last known Pinta Island Tortoise a few months before he passed away in 2012 at somewhere between 80 and 100 years old.

They are entirely non-existent in Europe.

I've only ever seen them in the US (San Diego '98 and Miami '13).

You're right, I don't live in Europe
