There are more (4 or 5 ...I dont remember:confused:) enclosure which look same. But may there was Lowland nyala right in this one:). In other ones were Ostrich, Damara zebra, Eland and Roan Antilope
 
Are these the exhibits that the Empress (or whatever they called her) used to look over when she had breakfast? For some reason I remember that story from reading a zoo history book.
 
Maria Theresa (13 May 1717 – 29 November 1780). A potted history of the Zoo can be found here:-[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiergarten_Sch%C3%B6nbrunn"]Tiergarten Schönbrunn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]

Vienna has shown in recent years that just because a zoo is venerable doesn't mean it has to accept life in the second division.
 
Thanks for the info Ian. It looks like the world's oldest extant zoo (is this widely accepted to be true?) has managed to stay relevant in the 21st century - quite an accomplishment.
