@Zoofan15 Oh I really appreciate it bro, love getting to know as much as possible about the individual animals. Yeah with Adelaide's species inventory it started when seeing that unlike Melbourne, Perth and Taronga's wikipedia pages Adelaide Zoo's species list only had the African mammals filled in so decided to try compile a species list with as many species noted down as possible. So did some digging around including @Chlidonias 's awesome exotic inventories for Aus & NZ that I definitely couldn't of compiled the AZ list without reading through those threads again (love re-reading those threads every few weeks anyway) and other members on heres postings about species at the Zoo, plus Adelaide's website obviously for species mentioned they have, although that doesnt actually have a full list but found an old sponsor an animal list on Trove's Wayback portal for the Zoo's animal lists from early 2000s so the bird list likely includes birds no longer at the Zoo. Found an article from the (Royal) South Australian Zoological Society about little Willow going to Adelaide's friendship farm after rejection from her mother and the rest of the Blackbucks at Monarto (hope she has a long good life despite her unfortunate start) so I copy pasted the list after putting it up on Adelaide's Wiki page.
 
Golden lion tamarin - Group One: Roscoe and Arella (breeding pair) and offspring - Poko, Raphael, Juniper, Javier, and Jose; Group Two: Diego and Frida (offspring of breeding pair).

Goodfellow’s tree kangaroo - 0.1 Buna (00/09/2015)

African lion - 1.0 Mujambi (26/03/2005), 0.1 Amani (06/05/2001)

Long-nosed potoroo - Quondong, Nancy and Tonya.

Malayan tapir - 0.1 Mia (1996), Jelita (2000)

Mandrill - 1.0 Tabah (05/04/2005), 0.1 Niari (00/03/1998), 1.0 Jumoke (09/10/2017)

Maned wolf - 1.0 Juanito, 0.1 Ninka

Northern white-cheeked gibbon - 1.0 Rhemus (26/05/1996), 0.1 Viet (06/06/1999), 0.1 Tien (13/04/2014), 0.1 Tuson (10/12/2016)

Are you sure they have Razor-Billed Currassow? I thought that the last individual in Australia, (Betty). Had died at Melbourne Zoo around 2019.
 
@OskarGC Sorty forgot to @ you in the post above. That was from 14 months ago so tbh memory and focus is just recent happenings. But imagine then they must of been absent from Adelaide Zoo for a number of years now (probably find some of the other birds are gone too, personally only really remember mammals and reptiles, but reptiles can be difficult to be up to date with as their departure often goes unnoted for some time).

They no longer have Razor Billed Currassow and haven't for many years now. They had a single female back in 2010, but not sure what happened to her afterwards. It's possible Betty (Melbourne's last female) was Adelaide's female.
 
How accurate is this list now?
I was doing edits to ZTL and was considering this as my primary source.
