Species not seen in italics

Note: Very few enclosures are marked on the map, meaning I basically had to check every nook and cranny of the park I could looking for animal exhibits. Large areas of the park have no animal exhibits, making this very annoying. I think I found them all but I would not surprised if I missed a few enclosures here and there. Nearly all mixed-species exhibits feature only signs for some of their inhabitants, so I am sure I missed some species there, too. Basically, this list is as complete as any normal visitor to this zoo could reasonably make, but it is far from perfect and is likely missing some important and/or rare species.

Additional note: I did not go in the Rainforest Café, though I believe there is some tropical reef fish in there.

Africa
Kilimanjaro Safaris® Safari Ride
Note: As this ride makes it difficult to tell exactly what species are in what enclosures, I won't be listing by enclosure for this ride. The species not in italics I saw in one or both of my rides through, the ones in italics were on the signage in the safari tram - I have no idea how accurate those signs are.

No Eld's Deer? I know there was a single individual in there a bit ago but wouldn't be surprised if he passed away.

Great list! As mentioned, giraffe are in there as well. I know I saw Thomson's gazelle and marabou stork in October 2020. I had not realized that they had Grant's, Grevy's, and Hartman's mountain zebra - that is a pretty complete collection for an American zoo, representing the three species of zebra.
 
From my visit in March I can vouch for the duiker sharing the okapi enclosure as well as pink-backed pelicans on the safari ride. I think those are the only things I caught that you didn't.

Overall, though, the signage on the safari trams is very outdated. I seem to recall seeing gerenuk listed there as well, which they certainly don't have. They also definitely replaced their scimitar-horned oryx with the domestic goats at the end of the ride a while back.
 
Thank you for the list. Some notes.

Greater Kudu
Black Rhinoceros
Pink-backed Pelican
Thomson's Gazelle

I saw these species during my January visit (got pictures of all of them sans the Black Rhino; couldn't get a good picture because of the bumpy ride, and I am still VERY salty about that).

3. Arabian Spiny Mouse
4. Naked Mole Rat
5. Naked Mole Rat
6. Pancake Tortoise
7. Kenyan Sand Boa
8. Ball Python
9. African Bullfrog
10. Angolan Python

These exhibits were inaccessible during my visit because they had it roped off except for the pathway between the doors. Did they open up that entire room?

8. unidentified Galapagos tortoises (possibly multiple species)

From what I heard, the Galapagos Tortoise has been reclassified as a single species, although this is contentious some people are still treating each subspecies as a species. They have them just signed as Chelonoidis niger which, if following the "multiple species" model, points to an extinct species.

6. Yellow-billed Duck, Rosybill Pochard, Ring-tailed Lemur, Collared Lemur

The lemurs were present during my visit, but I don't recall seeing waterfowl in there.

4. Large Flying Fox

There were also Rodriguez Flying Foxes in here. Are they gone?
 
Thank you for posting this list.

Funds are replenishing so I've bought tickets to DAK for September. It will be my first visit.
If anyone can give advice, how long are the wait times for the safari and rides in general, and which rides are closest to which animal exhibits? Is there any species in particular that I should keep my eyes out for or are hard to find?

Here's a map of DAK:

disney-animal-kingdom-map-02.jpg


I was focused solely on animals and did not ride any rides other than Kilimanjaro Safaris. The wait time is usually about an hour. I had early entry, so I was able to rush there first thing before the ride opened and only wait about 10 minutes. The ride opens a little later than the rest of the part but I don't remember exactly what time - 8:00 maybe? After that I spent the rest of the day seeing the rest of the exhibits, then getting in line for the safari again (I waited a little over an hour at that time). The animals were far more active on my morning ride but I didn't see too many species then - I saw far more species in the evening, but the animals were a lot less active. The route I took through only focused an animals (as such I didn't pass many of the rides), but the line on Kali River Rapids was usually about 80 minutes, I'd assume the wait times are similar for all the other rides as well. Be aware if you waste too much time on rides you may not be able to see all the animal species, as many of the animals go off-exhibit for the night before the park closes.

Thanks. Asia and Dinoland USA will likely be my first stops since they have 3 of the 4 rides I want to do. I figure if I come early enough the lines will be a little less. Also the Lion-tailed Macaques are there and I really want to see those. I can do the Avatar ride later in the day.
How long is the line for the Safari ride? And are there any lines for any of the other animal exhibits?

The safari ride is the only animal exhibit you have to wait in a line to see. Don't expect the line for the safari to ever go under an hour.

Congratulations, Animal Kingdom is a wonderful park. If you only have on day to experience the park, I would consider purchasing Disney Genie+ (Paid line skipping) to minimize your waits. If you're staying on property, you can get into the park at 07:30 and Flight of Passage should be your top priority. Otherwise you can get into the park at 8. The safari ride (Kilimanjaro Safaris) gets a long line (Generally 60-80 minutes) starting almost immediately at opening as hotel guests head there after they finish Avatar. What @birdsandbats told you though is incorrect, the lines across the park, including the safari, do drop starting around 2 when guests leave for other parks. I was in the park Wednesday and I did three Safaris between 4:30 and 7 (When the safari closes) all with no more than a 10 minute wait (5 minutes of which is walking the queue). No matter when you go (And absolutely if you only ride once), ask for a left side seat in one of the first four rows. Most animals are on the left side and the further back you sit the bumpier the ride (If you want a thrill ride, sit in the last row, but good luck with photos). Animal Kingdom is my local park so if you have any questions, just ask.
 
I might end up posting a species list here, but for now here are some of the changes I noticed from @birdsandbats list from my visit.

1. There are now Vietnam Pheasants in Asia aviary and Emerald Starling in Africa. They only came within the last month. I was also able to get an up-to-date idea of what species are present in aviaries, some of the italic species in aviaries were seen or confirmed present, while some listed were not seen by me and may be gone.

2. Splashback Poison Dart Frog, Ornate Horned Frog and European Fire Salamander are notable new species in Rafiki's Planet Watch, but they are kept very far from viewing window and I could only see the dart frogs. Some snake and invert species from above list are now gone.

3. Ringtail Lemur is confirmed gone even though its still signed.

4. Spoonbills are off-exhibit due to construction by oasis, but both species are still in bird show. Tammar Wallaby might also be off-exhibit, I certainly didn't see any signs for it and if it's close to the spoonbills it probably is.

5. No signs for Western Gray Kangaroo and I didn't see it. But didn't confirm if its actually gone.

6. Can confirm Yellow-backed Duiker is still on-exhibit in the Gorilla Falls.

7. Rodrigues Fruit Bats are still signed on a chalkboard, but confirmed that they are gone.

8. Eld's Deer was seen, and down to a single old female that looks on death's door unfortunately. Also confirmed Sarus Cranes are present, but didn't see them.

9. A few birds listed in bird show were not by the ones I saw. Harpy Eagle, Marabou Stork, Milky Eagle Owl and Yellow-headed Amazon were birds not listed above that I saw. Marabou Stork and Andean Condor switched places between shows I saw, taking up the scavenger role.

@SusScrofa There is still a Wallaby on the small path between the two main Oasis trails. There are no signs as you mentioned, but it is the next exhibit after the Rhinoceros Iguana. There are also still Kangaroos, Grey and Red. They live under the Tree of Life with the Lappet Faced Vulture couple and white Stork. Disney is not the best with their signage unfortunately. As for the aviaries, from what cast members have told me, they are always fluctuating, with species coming and going often. Also new to the Maharajah Jungle Trek are Galas, they came in around May/June.

Next to the iguana? Do you mean the enclosure with the Spot-billed duck, the one between the Babirusa/swan and Giant Anteater enclosures? Guess I just didn't see the wallaby. I only saw the Red Kangaroo and its also signed. The kangaroo is together with the vulture and the Lesser Flamingoes now. The White Stork is in the seperate space right next door. I did see the Galah in the Asia aviary. The downloadable checklist for the Asia aviary is missing many of the species I confirmed are present. From the few listed there, all but the Fairy Bluebird are still on-exhibit according to a keeper and I did see nearly all of them.
 
I have since learned that the wallaby was actually a Swamp Wallaby and not Tammar.

You have no idea how jealous I am of that Harpy Eagle.
 
@SusScrofa Yes, the enclosure is across from the swans on the trail that connects the Babirusa with the Giant Anteater. The animals have well designed exhibits that they can easily hide in so it is not surprising you didn't see one. The Flamingos are in a separate exhibit than the Kangaroos. The Kangaroos, White Stork and Lappet Faced Vultures all share one large exhibit underneath the Tree of Life facing the front entrance. The Kangaroos tend to hang out on the back left behind the Lesser Flamingos which is accessible from the Discovery Island Trail.
