Animals You've Seen That Few Zoochatters Have Seen

Walsrode kept red-wattled lapwing,s where I saw them a few years ago. I've also seen them in the wild in Sri Lanka and Thailand where they are common.
I've seen 12 species of Vanellus, 5 of them in the wild (Northern, masked, red-wattled, yellow-wattled and southern)

I've seen Northern, red-wattled, spur-winged and blacksmith in the wild, but I probably need to travel to Australia, East Asia or South America if I want to see many more new species

Yeah Platypus are my favourite animal thanks for bringing it up
But i bet very few have ever seen a Coues Deer
If you check my media you can see the picture when my family went to the grand canyon I begged to stop at a Zoo (which everyone enjoyed)
"Bearizona".

I've seen Coue's White-tailed Deer in both captivity and in the wild. Pretty much any user who's been to ASDM will have seen them. However, if you saw these deer at the Grand Canyon, then you *didn't* seen this taxon, as they do not occur there.

Walsrode not only kept the Red-wattled lapwing, in the late 1980s I even had to hand-raise several of them :

3 Red-wattled lapwing-chicks at the hand-raising station around 1987 ( the 4th chick ( third from the left ) being an Eurasian oystercatcher ).

I think they mean they went, while on a trip to the Grand Canyon, to Bearizona which does have Coue’s deer.
 
I recently visited Mexico and went on two bird-watching tours. The birds listed in bold are particularly elusive in the wild, while the ones in regular font are rare both in wild and in captivity.

Keel-billed Toucan and Collared Aracari are not "particularly elusive in the wild" and in fact are extremely easy to see in their native ranges.
 
The example I’m about to mention might be controversial, as this species is simply a wild form of a familiar domestic species, but I’m including it under the pretext that it’s a very rarely held species in Europe and a species that has never been held by any non-private collectors in the United States. The Wild Canary (Serinus canaria) was once held in the Gorilla Falls Expedition Trail aviary at DAK (I saw them in 2018). The pair that I saw were seen during a demonstration involving the shaking of maracas in order to stimulate weavers and finches to gather materials to build their nests. Overall, it was a very cool experience, especially for a younger, bird-obsessed version of myself. (On the taxonomy of the birds, they were explicitly stated to be of a pure wild type and not simply a wild-type color morph of the domestic species.

How do you know they were the wild-type and not simply domestic-type birds with a similar phenotype?

A long-time docent, and later friend, told me that they were imported in with a group of African birds from a European collection, and that they were of pure wild-type lineage. Quite a few of the species in the Gorilla Falls aviary were imported from European zoos, as the aviary’s species lineup has several species that can’t be found in any other American zoos (except maybe San Diego).

Platypus are common in Australian zoos.

Platypus actually aren't that common in Aussie Zoos, they are found at: Australian Reptile Park, David Fleay Wildlife Park, Healesville Sanctuary, Lone Pine Koala Park, Melbourne Zoo, Platypus House, Taronga Zoo, Taronga Western Plains Zoo, Walkabout Creek Discovery Centre, Wildlife Sydney. 10 zoos. So not rare, but not that common either. (although 10 is more than I thought, actually)

So I spent some time and went through my Mammal lifelist and came up with the following 252 species that few zoochatters have likely seen. I appologize for the formatting ahead of time. Most of these I've only seen once before and usually somewhere outside North America or Europe (where most zoochatters call home.) If you'd like me to specify where I saw any of these just let me know!

I'm guessing there's a chance I'm the only zoochatter to have seen Zeledon's mouse opossum, Honduran white Bat, Palawan stink badger, Peale's dolphin, Merida Brocket Deer
