One of two or three HUGE hoofstock hilliside paddocks just visible from the sidewalk where the skyfari exits. You can see two deer near the top fence and an antelope on the far left. Anyone care to ID them?

I'm not really sure as it's so far away and I'm not familar with San Diego, but I do know that they hold Barbary Stag off-exhibit at the zoo, so those deer might be Barbary Stag. The antelope appears to be a species of gazelle, but again, I'm not sure. Anyone else more familiar with San Diego have any idea?
The two larger animals appear to be a large "red deer" type animal. Most likely Barbary, or possible Bactrian. The smaller tan animal I would guess to be a Soemmerring's gazelle. These are total guesses because the picture is not very big.
I counted four, there are two to the right of this and one more to the left. I saw Chinese Goral in the one on the far right, which is this very green exhibit with lots of vegetation. I saw Takin in the second to the left exhibit when EO first opened. I second that the deer are probably Barbary Stag. I saw the gazelles too when i went on Wednesday. On the exhibit to the far left, there were new trees planted and some sort of female deer standing hunched in a cave. Possibly female red deer?

EDIT: I just checked google maps, and apparently there are like 7 large spacious enclosures. Its amazing that those trees and the cliff side can block out about 3 of them. I know wonder even more what animals they got there.
