The marmoset must be off show because I've never seen any.

The donkeys I've seen look average size.

I've never seen mara, or a raccoon and I don't know what an adler is but I don't think I've ever seen one. I know they have a few animals left from Brockholes so maybe they are behind the scenes.

They did have a monkey left by Brockholes but I believe that is gone.

And our brown lemurs are not at all common:p
 
The marmosets are on their old website.

The common brown lemur and racoon, i got from zootierliste.

Miniture Donkeys is the breed name. They are smaller than most donkey breeds but are not ridiculasly small like the name suggests.
 
I haven't seen mara, marmosets or racoons in the public exhibits either.

They have a couple of snakes and a lizard but I'm afraid I can't remember their exact. species (sorry).
 
There's a left over (from Brookfield) llama as well in the mixed paddock

they also have budgies as well in the aviary (obviously
 
Just remembered the ferrets as well - they are also used in the animal display.

They have a birds of prey display as well, but the birds don't belong to them
 
I can remember a few numbers but sure of many:

zebra 1m 1f
ankola 1m 3f 1m calf
brown lemur 3f
ringtails 1m 6f plus new infant
ruff lemur 1m 1f
red river hogs 1m 1f
raccoon dogs 2f
emu 1m
Hunting dog 1m 3f

I've only done the ones I'm totally sure about
 
There's definity a male ostrich - I can vouch for this after a close encounter with him thro a jeep window on a tour
 
The lions are
Frida, Crystal, Julie and Carla & 10 year old male, Johnny Junior.
18 month old Ares and Adel, mother Alis and Cezar
Maria, cubs Simba and Dan & 27 year old Johnny Senior

But I guess some of the names don't indicate the gender of the animals for sure.
 
Do these numbers include deceased animals, there are only 5 meerkats (unless Anne gave birth in the last 2 weeks), the Ringtail had 2 young but only 1 has survived (unless they're hand-rearing it).
Does the 3rd digit represent don't knows or juveniles?
Is the lechwe number recent because they seem to breed like rabbits (well not quite since the rabbit had 9 or 10 babies)?
