Does someone have a species list for this building? Also, is this the indoor area for the fishing cat or the entire exhibit?
 
Mammal-wise (from memory) current line-up is:

Asian Lion
Amur Tiger
Sumatran Tiger
Malayan Tiger
Amur Leopard
Javan Leopard
North China Leopard
Black (generic) Leopard
Jaguar
Montana Puma
Geoffroy's Cat
Chinese Leopard Cat
Fishing Cat
Gordon's Cat
Arabian Sand Cat
Pallas' Cat
Serval
Indochinese Clouded Leopard
Binturong
Swift Fruit Bat
Straw-coloured Fruit Bat
Gambian/Wahlberg's Epauletted Bat (ID disputed!)
Short-eared Elephant Shrew
Guenther's Vole

Almost certainly forgotten something in all that! Due to roof repairs a couple of the rodent exhibits are empty and the Indian Fruit Bats are currently missing from the central free-flight area. The house has most of the cats at the park - the exceptions are the South African Caracals, Bobcats, Altai Lynx and European Wildcats, which are elsewhere, and the Cheetah and Snow Leopard, which are adjacent to the Brehm-Haus.

There are also a large number of birds (too many for me to do from memory!) - highlights include Tropical Kingbird, Blue Ground Dove, Chestnut-capped Babbler and Yellow-billed Hornbill.

As to the Fishing Cats - I can't honestly say - the design of the Brehm-Haus is such that animals are regularly (including throughout the day) switched about.
 
OK I'll resist adding my usual comments about this area of an otherwise good zoo, and ask folks instead, when finally this place is deemed unfit for cats what can it be used for?
 
Great species list, many lifeticks for me. If that's the average exhibit, this house really isn't very good (but I can only assume by the pictures)
