Which groups have largest herds or flocks of given species?

For example, biggest group of Asian Elephants outside Asia is Ringling Bros - ca 35 and in Europe at Pairi Daiza - 19.
 
Zoológico Nacional de Cuba claims to have the largest hippopotamus and plains zebra herds out of Africa.
 
Ringling Bros no longer has any elephants.

The largest group of Bonobos outside of Africa is Milwaukee's troop of 18.

Stuttgart has well over 20 bonobos and I am not sure how big the group in la Vallee des Singes is now, but that one should be larger too.

Pairi Daiza might have the most elephants, but they aren't in a single group. Cologne's group is slightly smaller, but at least together kept in the same facility.

Vinpearl Safari in Vietnam had 180 zebras when I was there in 2017. How many does Cuba's National Zoo hold?

Bangkok Safari World in Thailand held 156 giraffes when @devilfish was there in 2013.

180!? I don't know how many zebras they currently have, but on a video about the zoo's lions, it is said they have the largest herds of hippos and zebras out of Africa.
 
NaturZoo Rheine (Germany) is world-renowned for its success with Geladas. There are two exhibits next to each other and when I visited in 2019 the zoo had 78 Geladas. I think they eventually went over the 100 mark before sending a group away to various zoos.
 
Monkey World's website lists 51 chimps across their 4 troops.

11 in the bachelor troop.
18 in Hananya's.
16 in Bart's.
6 in Bryan's.
