Various Minnesota Zoo in the 70's

Pictures of Tropical Building in construction and after - goats at openning
These goats are Nilgiri tahr (Nilgiritragus hylocrius), I saw them at the Minnesota Zoo in 2003 when I was 11
 
Does anyone know where this was/is located in the zoo. I suspect the current red panda/transcaspian urial exhibit.
 
@Dhole dude as mentioned elsewhwre I. The forum, this is the current Transcaspian urial exhibit. Does anyone know if Minnesota Zoo's Nilgiri tahr came from India or another US zoo? I know that the first ones in the United States were imported by the Memphis Zoo when Charles Wilson was the Director. He imported them from the Trivandrum Zoo in India memory serves me right. Admission into the zoo's aquarium is what paid for that import.
