Toronto’s loggerhead shrike in the Americas Pavilion.

Just curious, but are there any species in Canadian zoos that are unique to Canadian facilities?

I noticed that Western European zoos have a much better collection of Central & South American mammals than US & Canadian zoos. You guys have a better carnivore collection including more zoos with Bush Dog, and also have grison and small cats like Oncilla and Margay that are not (or nearly so)...
