I was unable to finish the whole species list in one visit, which means that the version above is incomplete. I will make a complete version once I get another chance to visit the zoo. I live in Beijing myself, so we probably won't have to wait for too long before I make the complete version:).

Great list!
Recently ZooTierListe (ZTL) has gone global, I am not sure if you are familiar with this website, but it gives an overview per species (which zoos they are kept in, how many etc).
It would be a great help if you add more information about Beijing Zoo to this website or from different zoos. ;) This thread gives more information about ZTL and the guidelines.
I have already added most of the species from this list to Zoo Beijing on ZTL, I haven't added all species because I had no information on their subspecies status.

Thanks for adding my species list to ZooTierListe! I will definitely add more information about Beijing Zoo to the website after I make the complete version of my list. For the subspecies, I'm afraid that most of them are unspecified and almost no information is provided:confused:.

The last jaguar of the five ones used to keep in Beijing Zoo passed away in 2021; the last cheetah passed away two months ago; the last snow leopard passed away around 2016; the clouded leopard passed away more than a decade ago; now there are only two leopards kept in off-exhibit area of the felid house, where the Eurasian lynx, caracal and serval are on exhibit, and Amur tigers and lions exhibited in another exhibit.

How did you find out all this information? Zoos in China unlike the US don’t really disclose all that information on animal passings and stuff. My family is actually from China, so I visit once a year. Last year, there was a sign at the cheetah exhibit(entirely in Chinese) saying the cheetah was very old and he was receiving palliative, end of life care. If you would look at him you would tell he was definitely at the end of his life, so I didn’t expect him to last much longer. He looked so skinny, his coat was all shaggy, he walked quite stiffly and wouldn’t walk around much and he just overall looked like he was nearing the end. Visitors were complaining he didn’t look good and there was a sign at the exhibit to keep quiet while observing him as he was sick and old. I really think he should have been retired from display, although he did have 24/7 access to go inside but the sign did say he still liked to lay in the sun during the middle of the day so I was able to catch him one last time. What’s in the exhibit now? I hope the zoo puts the leopards that you mentioned kept off-exhibit in the felid house in the cheetah exhibit.

Now, the serval is in the cheetah's old exhibit.
 
@baboon and @Raikou: Do you have any further information on the leopard situation? In terms of what individuals (sex, age, reproductive state, species/subspecies and their genetics)!!!

What is the general status of leopard subspecies in PR of China. I know that f.i. with snow leopard now only Xining Zoo in Xin is in the frame with a larger zoo population. But I would love to know what about North China Leopard, Amur or other subspecies and clouded leopard and the like.

It is said that the Beijing Zoo also houses two leopards, a male North China leopard and a female leopard said to be an Indochinese leopard.

The bloodlines of leopards in most zoos in China have not been tested.

There are snow leopards in Golmud City, Qinghai Province. Snow leopards are also kept in several zoos in Tibet, such as Norbulingka, Lhasa

There is currently no zoo in China that has an Amur leopard (with confirmed pedigree).

Currently, only Chongqing Zoo in China raises clouded leopards, and there is only one elderly female clouded leopard.
 
@Raikou, thank you very much. Really do appreciate your comments and additional information.

I do hope the genetics of Leopards get more attention from the China Zoo Association soon as it is imperative that the ex situ populations get a boost through careful management.

Same is true for Snow leopard and Clouded leopard.

Well……to tell the truth, Clouded leopard will possibly be vanished in a comple of years later. There is only one clouded leopard left in China mainland's zoo, which is very critical.

I have heard that the last clouded leopard in Beijing zoo was last seen in around 2006.
