Yes, Chlidonias, ngege are a cichlid species from Lake Victoria (Oreochromis esculentus). They may not sound sexy, or look that sexy either, but they are one of the Toronto Zoo's major fish conservation projects. Ngege were the first fish species to be managed by an SSP. They are thought to be extinct in the wild, and the zoo holds some of the few original founders (and many F1s). In fact, there is an entire room dedicated to their propogation in the "fish lab" (off exhibit, adjacent to the Animal Health Centre).

Regarding the sheep and goats:
There are three exhibits in Eurasia; one houses the chamois, one the tur, and one the mouflon and Barbary sheep together. Although we no longer have Dall's sheep, we still have a very large Caprinae collection, with six species (Himalayan tahr and musk ox are the other two).
 
The zoo is also trying to more the gharil to another zoo beause it is to big for the exhibit and is going to aquire another small crocidile.
 
really,thats cool.I wonder what kind,chinese,siamese?
