I meant that as in the entries need to be updated, not that they needed to be removed outright.
African golden-breasted bunting is listed as (signed, not seen)
Greater lophorina does not have notes for it
Satyr Tragopan and Philippine Duck are listed as seen

Is it true that the zoo has mountain coatis? The website lists them.
They used to - for some reason the zoo hasn't updated the site, but the coati's former exhibit is home to collared brown lemurs now.
They did not. They had Brown-Nosed Coatis. For some reason, a lot of people still call Brown-Nosed Coatis in the pet trade mountain coatis and some zoos (at least briefly) seem to have made the same mistake.

Every new visit to the Central Park zoo- in fact , all City zoos ( Prospect Park and Queens Zoo) - never fails to disappointment me.
Poorly funded . Never realized their potential - Queens zoo was to have had jaguars a decade ago and have never obtained them. A major indoor exhibit at Prospect Park zoo has never been utilized subsequent to the renovation.
Those zoos are a far cry ( Prospect Park and Central Park) are a far cry from their reinvented glories of the 1930s - when they were transformed from menageries to zoological parks.
Queens zoo never lived up to its potential - whatever that was

Central Park Zoo on Instagram: "Say hello to our gentoo penguin chick! Born June 13, the youngster was foster-reared by a gentoo penguin pair and currently weighs about five pounds and is very healthy! The chick will be introduced to the exhibit when it’s about 3-4 months old, after it has finished molting into its adult feathers and can swim and navigate the exhibit."
