Names and individual counts are not my specialty, sorry.
The zoo no longer holds Wolf’s Guenon as well. Addax were phased out from Africa due to problems on the Savanna. The zoo has one Egyptian Goose behind the scenes that is older and won’t go out on the savanna again. Every species that has been removed from the savanna has some sort of issue getting along.

I do hope that zebras, addax and springbok will return in the future
