ungulates

Great Hoof-Stock/Antelope Enclosures/Collection Hello. I came across this thread and decided to look for the world's greatest hoofstock collections. However, since modern zoos theoretically prefer space over quantity of species, the number of ungulates across most major collections has declined...

A thread for asking about walk-through exhibits, after the excellent thread of @snowleopard showed a number of zoos keeping sitatunga in walkthrough paddocks. Are there any walk-through exhibits with any gazelle species?

I wonder what sizes are typically deer parks and similar enclosed spaces where ungulates like red or fallow deer, blackbuck etc. live not physically separated from visitor paths. And what are the smallest / narrowest successful examples?

What are the ungulate species and pure subspecies no longer held in the United States of America and Canada? This is a big question that I would guess no one has the answer to but has been of interest to me after repeatedly reading scattered information about the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo...

Temperate zoos show their animals indoors for part of the year, and build great indoor spaces for primates, birds or crocodiles. However, tropical carnivores and hoofed animals usually have only functionally designed 'dens' or 'stalls'. Which zoos went beyond this, and make large and...

One of my favorite groups of mammals are caprids, which have unfortunately been disappearing from US Zoos in recent years. Some species have either completely died out or have very few individuals left, such as the japanese serow, west caucasian tur, and himalayan tahr. And many of the other...

Question is simple - in your opinion, which of the 7 is the best continent for mammals?

Hello, I am feeling curious wondering if there are any mixed enclosures with asian elephants. I am conceptualizing an asian enclosure surrounded by a water moat (elephant proof). Which ungulates can live together with asian elephants? Bateng, gaur, axis deer, blackbuck? What about primate...

Another poll in a series for zoochatters to vote for one of two EDGE mammal species. This time it is a contest between two herbivorous heavyweights from Africa and Latin America respectively: the black rhino and the Baird's tapir. Both are odd toed ungulates, both are classified as endangered...

Looking for ear tag options that are visibly small for antelope, and other ungulates. Any suggestions? These would not need to be official tags for moving across state lines. Like the look of the tempting and super small by Dalton in UK, but doesn't seem like they are available anymore. Thanks!

Another poll in a series for zoochatters to vote for one of two EDGE mammal species. This time it is a pair of much larger mammals. Both species are ungulates (one odd toed and the other even toed) are far lesser known and appreciated than their larger close relatives and are classed as...

What are the most beautiful / impressive / interesting ungulate species in your opinion and why ? You may choose five examples from either the odd toed or the even toed ungulates for your examples. Please feel free to also include any other information in your comment such as personal...

Another year, another challenge. For the challenge's fourth installment, we're targeting Ungulates! While, as always, our friends in Australasia will be left out a bit I feel ungulates are still a very well represented clade of animals in captivity. Now this may be a bit of a difficult and...
