Scanned San Diego Zoo Photos 1992-2001

Mhorr gazelle (Nanger dama mhorr)
Love all the old hoof and horn photo's!!!Miss all these species!

So do I thor, last time I was at San Diego Zoo I was litteraly crying while in elephant odyessey because I missed Horn and Hoof Mesa, anyways I notice Mhorr gazelles are being phased out to make room for Addra gazelles, arent Mhorr gazelles more endangered and threatened ???
 
Last I heard European zoos were going to concentrate on mhorr gazelles and north american zoos were going to concentrate on addra....
 
Rotterdam Zoo - the Netherlands used to have a small herd of Addras but now have a small group of Mhorr gazelles so thor could be right.
 
When I walked up there a few weeks ago the addra gazelle were missing.
 
Last I heard European zoos were going to concentrate on mhorr gazelles and north american zoos were going to concentrate on addra....

Thats what i also heard, but in my opinion both continents should be able to have both and i should probably be up to the zoo to decide which subspecies of (Nanger dama) to have at there facility, or better yet I would like to see a zoo exhibit both subspecies in one place
