Sorry to digress this thread further but I thought Beijing Zoo got their Musk ox (Ovibos moschatus) from San Francisco Zoo
And sorry to digress this thread even further, but another interesting fact about caprids at Beijing Zoo is that Madrid Zoo gave them Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica) in exchange for Giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), and San Diego Zoo actually got their Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica) from Beijing Zoo
1 other I interesting Caprinae species that Beijing had a while ago
was the Japanese serow (Capricornis crispus) but i dont know where they came from, I also remember hearing that they also had Formosan serow (Capricornis swinhoei) that came from Taipei Zoo but I cannot confirm that, Zirandelighun or Baboon do you guys know anything about that ?
I don't remember there used to be Spanish ibex in Beijing......But Shanghai Zoo indeed used to hold a group of Spanish ibex. And I think Weihai Zoo is the only zoo receiving Formosan serows in China mainland.
