Ituri 18 Nov 2011 Western Red-Flanked Duiker, another species that seems to have left the collection.
Ituri 18 Nov 2011 Nope, they only had Speke's Gazelle, Lesser Kudu and Southern Gerenuk in that enclosure. They were gone from the park as well.

T T thor 18 Nov 2011 Great another ungulate species they no longer have. Add that to growing list .......
P P Pacarana 21 Nov 2011 That seems very odd. The last time I was there they had this species in almost every single exhibit.
O O Otter Lord 22 Nov 2011 Doesn't the TAG recommend keeping this species. I thought they planned on keeping yellow flanked and red backed...

O O Otter Lord 22 Nov 2011 Well they participated in every phase out they recommended. I dont know why they would voluntarily phase out a good species like this.

Ituri 22 Nov 2011 1) They may still be in the collection. I just didn't see any on exhibit. 2) If they have left the collection, they probably have not left the AZA, unlike the "phase outs"
