Quagga, all it would need is a hoofstook yard and plains similar to Zebra and Camel exhibits
If recently extinct species were brought back, which ones would fit zoos most?

I made a similar thread in the fantasy zoo forum a few years back. Had some great discussion!
Caribbean monk seals could fit well. If they were still around, they'd probably be staples in zoos and aquariums on the Gulf Coast.
Steller's sea cow might be kept at larger aquariums or marine parks. Unless there are other complications to keeping them in captivity, they'd be a easy pick for the facility since they're large and charismatic, but wouldn't require as much space relative to their size as a cetacean or pinniped would.
Warrahs probably wouldn't be hard to keep. They'd be a nice addition to any zoo with a South America area.
Carolina parakeets. A pretty and unique addition to any zoo that wants to showcase North American wildlife, or even just a collection of pretty birds.
Recently extinct subspecies of wolves, lions, and tigers would be kept, since their care probably wouldn't be any different from what the extant subspecies require.

I assume you mean golden toads, right?

Yeah, I did, sorry about that.
I know of at least one American zoo that's done this
.
Narrator on a documentary: Here we see the Amur leopard in it's cold, forested environment, the way it can withstand the winters of Russia is simply amazing!I know of at least one American zoo that's done this
San diego zoo watching the documentary:
Yeah mk. Alright plop it in Africa rocks and no one will notice, right?
Yes, Amur leopards in jungle, desert, or African areas are a bit jarring but sometimes stand ins are needed. It wouldn't be any different than a Malayan tiger in an Indian themed area or a grizzly bear in a Russian themed area.
Fair enough, But it's quite ironic when you compare such drastic environmental changes concerning San diego's handling of Amur leopards.
where did you get this inforamtion. The Falkland wolf shares neither a close relation to the grey wolf/ domestecated dogs. Nor the Andean fox/ Fuegian dog. It had one closely related species
Dusicyon avus, which went extinct arround 1100 AD. While the closest living relative is the manned wolf
This was all covered immediately after the post you quoted.
