Blank Park Zoo Blank Park Zoo News

Visiting tomorrow morning. Plan to throw up a species list when I’m done, although the cold will obviously lead to a lot of animals signed but unseen. Any advice for the trip?

The USDA inspection reports from last year and this year, as well, do not list slender-horned gazelles. The inspection from October of 2021 has one animal recorded. This suggests that the Blank Park Zoo is no longer a holder, but obviously confirms nothing. The status of the common eland at the zoo is the exact same, based solely on these inspections.

I would be very curious to know from anyone who has visited recently or will soon whether or not these species have left the collection as it would seem, but they probably have.
