I recently purchased (via Amazon) a 1992 coffee table book simply called "American Zoos". In it there is mention of gray wolves near Himalayan Highlands as Tiger Mountain had not yet been built.
Other intriguing species mentioned as being in the Bronx Zoo in 1992 include: Proboscis monkey, pink pigeon, grey eagle buzzard, Pere David's deer, Arabian oryx, blesbok, Sumatran rhinoceros, mugger crocodile, Cuban crocodile and apparently "free-flying hornbills" in JungleWorld.

Pere David's deer and Cuban crocs are still there, and I believe a smaller species of hornbill may still be in Jungleworld. Originally, Great hornbills were free-flight in the big central space, which was very impressive (along with the sadly-departed gharials and Indian giant squirrels).
