How many Bovid species/subspecies have You seen?

I still haven't seen any wild bovids. :( The only one I've been in range for is Bighorn Sheep and I missed it (not for lack of trying, though!).

Thanks for this info. Then I really have to visit a zoo with Rocky mountain bighorns instead of expect to see them in the wild when I make a NA zoo tour. BTW your list of captive bovids wouldn't be less interesting

It is! And you have some nice rarities like japanese serow or stones sheep! Did you see the stone sheep in winnipeg? And do they still have them?
Click to expand...

Yes, they are here at Assiniboine! We have a single male Japanese Serrow who was kicked from his herd from another zoo. I've been told they are looking to expand the herd if more become available. We have I believe two stones sheep - or at least I have only seen two at a given time.

A lot of my other rarities have been from private zoos, or private owners.

Thank You! With the mouflon: as You don't mention subspecies, but after the taxonomy I use the european mouflon is a subspecies of domestic sheep (Ovis aries musimon). Others have them as subspecies of Ovis orientalis.

I think you are the first here who has seen royal antelope. I am very envious! :eek:

Wow thank You! If I'm not wrong the first one with zebra duiker here. Where did You see captive Livingstone's eland?

Ah yes, that's one zoo I wanted probably to visit on a (hopefully happening) NA zoo tour, because of the stone's sheep, rocky mountain bighorn sheep and the serow!

From the lists so far, most likely! There are probably a handful of other ZooChatters that saw the species when it was still around, but it was always quite rare.

I saw the Livingstone's eland at a couple of private facilities in South Africa as well as a game pasture at the Alzu Petroport gas station, about halfway between Johannesburg and Mbombela, on the way to Kruger National Park.

Many uncommon and alien subspecies have been widely introduced on South African farms and private reserves, as I’m sure your aware.

Allot of others unusual subspecies such as Zambian Sable can be easily seen in South Africa, at either private reserves or
simply attending an auction.
The South African private Game trade is uncomprehendingly huge, ranging from Nile Lechwe to Masai Giraffe.

This is correct. I spent quite a bit of time working in the conservation genetics labs at the National Zoo in Pretoria, so I have seen my fair share of samples from all sorts of interesting taxa sent in by ranchers wanting to confirm the origin of their stock (often for legal purposes as it is illegal to house West African roan in South Africa at all or to manage blesbok and bontebok or blue and black wildebeest on the same property). I never saw any sable that I was able to confirm as Zambian. I saw quite a few from the roadside that could have been Zambian; however, I never visited a facility that housed them, specifically. I saw southern sable wild in Kruger and worked with the taxon here in the United States. I was not aware of Nile lechwe being available in the private trade in South Africa; however, I did know that there were Masai giraffe kicking around. I saw a hybrid Masai x Cape giraffe at the Mokopane Biodiversity Conservation Centre. There are some photographs of this individual in the gallery.

So they imported Livingstone's while having another subspecies living naturally there? I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of hybridization goes on there.

Ah, I answered before reading the following comments. You already gave a better insight here. Wouldn't zambian sable be easily distinguished from the nominates, as the females in the nominate ssp are almost as black as the males?

Who knows the subspecies of Lesser Kudu in San Diego Zoo, Banteng in New Dehli Zoo, and whether any instututions in Europe recently kept other than Tajik Markhor?

Thanks for sharing! Maybe the first and last one posting here Abbott's duiker! I know Your story with it from another thread. As chances were good for seeing a wild one at Machame camp at the beginning of this year, I tried it myself to see that species too in May. But unfortunately no success in 3 days waiting for it.
