Common Antelope

Zoo Tycooner FR said:
What? Just a quick Google Search told me that more than 300 bongos are kept in U.S collections, how are they rare? I don't know the numbers for yellow-backed duiker but I recon they are not that rare.

38 US Zoos keep Bongo I believe.

Going off of this, it's Greater Kudu both by number of individuals and number of zoos - 282 animals in 41 institutions. Some other leaders:
# of animals
Common Waterbuck 259
Scimitar-horned Oryx 242
Nile Lechwe 232
Addax 230
Thomson's Gazelle 207
# of institutions
Eastern Bongo in 38 (130 animals)
Yellow-backed Duiker in 35 (98 animals)
Addax in 24 (230 animals)
Common Eland in 23 (195 animals)
 
So these are the species mentioned in the document as present in US zoos:

Tragelaphini
Common eland (195 in 23 institutions)
Giant eland (69 in 4 American and 2 non-American institutions)
Greater kudu (281 in 41 institutions)
Lesser kudu (128 in 19 institutions)
Sitatunga (92 in 10 institutions)
Mountain bongo (130 in 38 institutions)
Lowland nyala (151 in 20 institutions)

Antilopini
Southern gerenuk (51 in 11 institutions)
Springbok (79 in 9 institutions)
Addra gazelle (183 in 21 institutions)
Cuvier's gazelle (38 in X institutions)
Grant's gazelle (57 in 12 institutions)
Red-fronted gazelle (41 in 2 institutions)
Soemmering's gazelle (58 in 8 institutions)
Speke's gazelle (61 in 8 institutions)
Slender-horned gazelle (85 in 9 institutions)
Thomson's gazelle (207 in 20 institutions)

Madoquini
Guenther's dikdik (1 in 1 institution)
Kirk's dikdik s.l. (32 at 17 institutions)

Raphicerini
Steenbok (26 in 5 institutions)

Oreotragini
Klipspringer (45 in 18 institutions)

Reduncini
Waterbuck (Defassa and or Ellipsen?) (259 in 15 institutions)
Nile lechwe (232 in 10 institutions)
Red lechwe (31 in 3 institutions)
Uganda kob (34 in 2 institutions + unknown number in 3rd institution)

Alcelaphini
Bontebok (74 in 18 institutions)
Jackson's hartebeest (7 in two institutions)
Common wildebeest (230 in 22 institutions)

Hippotragini
Roan antelope (140 in 10 institutions)
Sable antelope (103 in 12 institutions)
Addax (220 in 24 institutions)
Arabian oryx (100 in 10 institutions)
Fringe-eared oryx (39 in 4 institutions)
Gemsbok (102 in 10 institutions)
Scimitar-horned oryx (242 in 18 institutions)

Cephalophini
Black duiker (21 in 7 institutions)
Blue duiker (51 in 17 institutions)
Red-flanked duiker (24 in 10 institutions)
Yellow-backed duiker (98 in 35 institutions)

I thought there were also still Royal antelope, Common duiker, Impala, Blackbuck and Nilgai in US zoos and Grey rhebok in a private center.

What about White-tailed wildebeest?

Species not in Europe zoos or only in remnants: Giant eland, Grant's gazelle, Red-fronted gazelle, Slender-horned gazelle, Grant's gazelle, Speke's gazelle, Soemmering's gazelle, Guenther's dikdik, Steenbok, Fringe-eared oryx, Bontebok, Black duiker, Southern gerenuk, Red-flanked duiker, Yellow-backed duiker, Uganda kob, Jackson's hartebeest & Klipspringer.

European zoos seem to have slightly less diversity but larger populations of many species. (sub-)Species present in Europe but absent in US: Blesbok, Beisa oryx, Kaama (1 left), Mountain reedbuck, Goitered gazelle, Kafue + Black lechwe, Black-faced impala, Dorcas gazelle, Natal red duiker. Also present in good numbers in Europe but not mentioned in these slides: White-tailed wildebeest, Impala, Blackbuck, Nilgai.

Overall US zoos seem to have higher diversity but lower numbers. If the sheet is complete for Wild sheep and goat Europe outperforms America clearly both in population size and species numbers (Alpine, West-Caucasian, East-Caucasian, Siberian, Nubian and Iberian ibex are kept in Europe for example).
 
@lintworm : I believe the document only lists species which are part/may be part of (in the future) of a SSP. For exemple, I'm pretty sure Brazilian tapirs are kept at Brookfield but IIRC the AZA wants to phase them out (or if not, they are not part of an SSP).

You are correct. These are SSP animals only. There are species without SSPs because there has not been an SSP formed or they are being phased out.

What institution are Guenther's Dikdik kept at?

I am sure there are more than 15 zoos keeping Waterbuck.

I know for a fact that Royal Antelope, Blackbuck, and Nilgai are still kept in the US.

Montgomery zoo, i believe has guenthers. Blackbuck and nilgai are so common here there are probably more than the population of several states. There are very few Royal antelope left, I saw one at Brookfield, but it is rarely on exhibit, Lowry Park and Sd Zoo or Safari Park should have it.

Suni and common duiker should be kept in private collections as well as alpine and siberian ibexes. There are a smattering of zoos here with bay duiker and nubian ibex.

The Royal Antelope at Brookfield is only on exhibit in the summer.
 
My experience with game ranches show Scimitar Oryx, Greater Kudu, Blackbuck, Nilgai and Bontebok are the vast majority of captive antelope in the US. Bongo in private hands though are exploding in population (relative to the wild, zoo, and founding populations.
