Bar-headed Geese

September 1988

Were they in a mixed exhibit, or a single exhibit to themselves? If the former, which other taxa were a part of that mix?

To be honest, I don't remember, it was 33 years ago! But I suspect it was a large mixed waterbird exhibit. Maybe Arizona Docent knows?

@Hix ah thank you. @Arizona Docent can you pinpoint the location of this exhibit?

If it still stands it would have to be the zebra exhibit.

@Arizona Docent that makes sense. Didn't you say that you have personally looked through old photos in the zoo's archives?

Yeah I think these would have been mixed with Nilgai in the "Asian Grassland" exhibit that is now the zebra exhibit.

@UngulateNerd92 I forgot about it, but I think when I was a docent someone brought in some old photos. I was surprised to see they used to have addax (in what I think is the current white rhino exhibit). I do remember when they used to have nyala, first in that exhibit and later in the current zebra exhibit (where for a while the nyala shared it with greater kudu).
