The LAIR is open. The only closed exhibits are the Australia House and a few roundhouses.
Do you know which roudhouses are closed, or if it's not possible to see some rare animals? Thank you so much
From the map on the website I believe it is only the roundhouse next to the painted dogs but I don’t know what is on exhibit there anymore. If you want rare make sure to look for the calamian deer and Chinese Goral in the hillside exhibits in the back. Also in rainforest of the Americas take a look over the fence near the lowland pacas and various monkeys to see a single Bald Uakari.Do you know which roudhouses are closed, or if it's not possible to see some rare animals?

I'll visit this zoo because here I will be able to see many species that do'nt exist in Europe. Gorals, yes. we have them. But we don't have pronghorn, Speke's gazelles, uakaris, American badgers, California condor, mountain tapir, black duiker, Calamian deer, crested capuchin monkey, masai giraffe, hairy-nosed wombat, australian red-eyed tree frog... The collection is amazing!
That roundhouse has been closed since before COVID-19. I think it may be completely empty right now.
California condors aren't actually on exhibit at the LA Zoo. You can sometimes see one in their bird show, but that hasn't been restarted since the original COVID-19 closure in March 2020. If you want to see California condors in Southern California, Santa Barbara Zoo, San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park all have them on exhibit where anyone can see them during a regular visit.
Yes, We'll visit San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park and more zoos too. Thank you!

I see Julio is now an influencer!
Oh wow they sure did! I am very active on Twitter and post often about my zoos, the LA Zoo follows me and asked if I had any photos of their lesser photographed animals so I do share when I can
but I don’t think I’m an influencer by any means 
Edit: I’ll also be posting photos of said lesser photographed animals on here too, don’t want to let the Zoochat crew down!
Some sad news to report following my visit to the LA Zoo today. Daisy, the last remaining red uakari in the US, recently passed away. The species sign has been removed from the Rainforest of the Americas so it doesn't appear there are any plans to obtain another one.
Also, the species sign at the Lowland Anoa exhibit has been removed and I confirmed with a keeper that it was, in fact, Bindi the female who passed away in November and who was erroneously listed as male in the Animal Transactions for that month.

RIP to a true rarity. Daisy truly was an amazing animal.
I guess they're not going to do an official announcement, then? I'd heard about Daisy privately in a few places but people were waiting for an official statement before discussing it in more public settings, given how well-known she was.
Shame about the anoa, as well

It would seem no official announcement is on the horizon, which is unfortunate given how unique Daisy was. I did just look and both species are no longer listed on their website. I have no idea when they were removed.

Yeah, it happened a few weeks ago. I was going to stop into LA for the first time and was especially eager to see her; a colleague dropped me an email the day she died (the monkey, not the colleague) in case it changed my travel plans. I've been doing a lot of running around the last few years trying to see the "one and only" animals before they pass away. Inevitably, some will go before I see them.
That’s a huge loss and I miss seeing Daisy, even from afar. Sometimes I’d catch her playing with her White Faced Saki friend in between the branches, with all the leaves rustling. Perhaps the reason they didn’t make any sort of announcement is due to the fact most guests couldn’t see her as her exhibit was obscured from the rest, even I had missed the Uakari exhibit when it initially opened a few times :/ I’ve seen people almost never stop by to see her as even to see her you need to look over a 6 foot fence too. Rest In Peace Daisy…
End of an era. Especially once they got down to their last individual, I'd make an effort to point the uakaris out to people. I would love to see the zoo make a plan with Brazil or Peru to start a breeding program, but if they're as shy around tourists as has been reported, it's probably not practical.
Feels like the zoo has been greatly diminished over the course of the pandemic.

Very sad indeed, and it is unlikely the species will ever make an appearance into North America again... Wish I'd had the chance to go see the uakaris before this...
I'm going to miss seeing them. I remember seeing four of them when the Rainforest of Americas first opened. I remember the male would look me in the eye and would rock the branches up and down. I'm glad I was able to see Daisy last year at least.
