Roan, Kafue Lechwe and Brindled Gnu

Is the total list of species;

Roan/Gnu/Lechwe/Grants Zebra/Giraffe/Black Rhino... anything else?

Do they still have the non African species in here- the Axis Deer and Blackbuck? Any other Asian species?
 
Certainly we saw Axis and Blackbuck in the main paddock, but no sign of any water buffalo or Nilgai this time - they were elsewhere in the park though.

The African species we saw in the main paddock were:

Eastern Black Rhino
Grant's Zebra
Grevy's Zebra
Giraffe (mostly hybrids, zoogiraffe informs me one is pure Rothschild's)
Brindled Gnu
Common Eland
Roan
Kafue Lechwe
Defassa Waterbuck
Ostrich



Think that's the lot. There are also African Wild Dogs in a side paddock to the main reserve, and various non-African species on the way to and from it. And we saw wild rabbits and foxes on the way round.
 
ISIS also list single male Sitatunga and Greater Kudu for Port Lympne. I've no idea how accurate this is, or if these individuals are housed in the African reserve.
 
There was a single male sitatunga in a paddock near the elephants when I went, only visible from the truck; there's a photo of him somewhere in the gallery. Didn't see any kudu though.

Yup - just the same when I was there.
