Were they public exhibiting the sable antelope, ostrich, and gembok or did you see them from afar, behind the scenes. If behind the scenes they don't count. (were any other animals exclusively seen this way?)

I have you done for 37, what animal am I missing? The donkey doesn't count. It has to be an American Standard Donkey. What is the English name for Eretz Hazvi Zoo Elishema? All I found out was that it was a petting zoo

For the Domestic animals, there aren't any replacements. Was the Alpine Goat an Alpine Goat or was it just another goat? What is the English name for Eretz Hazvi Zoo Elishema?
 
It was Alpine
And that's the name I found for it in english, it's also listed as that name on ztl

Nothing about the breed thing in the rules + there isn’t such a thing as “American standard donkey", American donkeys are many different breeds.

It has to be an American breed. The acceptable alternatives are in the provided spreadsheet link in the first post

And no alternatives there...
And since it's not a breed and no replacements, I don't see any issue with including domestic donkeys
