Just like pure Bengal tigers, I don't think there's many pure African leopards in zoos so its more likely just a zoomix leopard

Most leopards in Indonesian zoos are Javan, though Ragunan had Sri Lankan Leopard
 
An interesting selection of species here

Talking about the tigers, the Bengal tigers in this zoo aren't pure as well, being acquired from private facilities and all.

For the leopards, it should depend on where they acquired the animal from. This zoo have connections with local exotic pet importers that imported animals from South African farms, so the zoo's future African leopard could potentially be pure if the zoo use their contacts.
 
You mentioned flamingos in domestic animal complex in your first post but ommited to mention what species. So, what species is kept?
 
I would like to ask, does Lembang Park currently have no Asian golden cats and Malay civets on display?

They were phased out during my last visit in 2022. There was used to be a mixed exhibit for common palm civets and Javan binturongs but now it's gone.
 
I have to admit, I never liked Lembang Park & Zoo in term of management and curating. There's rare species like the flame bowerbird, yes, but so does that one rich man just a block away in the gated community (You get my point). I don't know if you guys feel the same way, but there's a different feeling when a zoo like Taman Safari Indonesia or Batu Secret Zoo have the rare stuffs compared to Lembang. That's because those two place, while have other flaws, atleast have actual commitment on caring and breeding said rare animals in the context of them being threatened and elusive to science (Not to mention in a better exhibits, design wise). Lembang is geared heavily to appeal towards general exotic pets lovers and keepers alike (You can tell by their emphasis on exotic animals and farmed morphs, which are available in the trade), them having close relations and collaboration with local celebrities and influencers does feel suspicious sometimes though its obviously for marketing purpose.

Them having protected species and releasing few of them seems more like just a check-list for a zoo to do rather than an actual commitment, I still doubt that they have a dedicated breeding facility or planning behind the screen. The popularity of this zoo among general visitors and celebrities might make it unlikely for Lembang to reform.

I'll try visiting the place someday just for the animals, but I don't expect my view of the place to change positively.

Sadly it is what it is. LPZ doesn't bother getting mates for the sun bear, orangutan and smooth-coated otter and phased out their golden cat and asian palm civets but would rather get capybaras and stock the reptile area with two or three same snake species but with different morphs.

It will probably only change if a caring general public will continue to pester zoo management and curating staff to do better and the PKBSI take a more critical internal look into the record of individual zoos accredited by the national zoo association.

Maybe it's their way of taking care of their animals, especially if they are rare. The cage for the flame bowerbird should be made exclusive, where there is an information panel that states that this bird is usually called the "moonwalker" bird because of its dance in courting a mate.

This is kinda my point to. I feel like the people behind Lembang, including the staffs for smaller animals like birds and reptiles, are more familiar with people involved with the trade or even exotic pet keepers/breeders as well. While this sentiment might be considered rude, but this is huge contrast with staffs from zoos like Taman Safari, Batu Secret Zoo, and even Gembira Loka that often are "conservation professional" in some way.

Even Gembira Loka Zoo got an A accreditation charter in 2024 now, because the baby Jackass penguin hatched at that time really got a good enrichment. Previously, they were busy managing Suraloka Zoo, some of whose animals were also from Gembira Loka Zoo.

Hold on, do you mean that Gembira Loka and Suraloka's management is the same? Or is Lembang and Suraloka's the same?

Can you specify which species came from Gembira Loka?

I had visit the place twice, it already kinda obvious that they took inspiration from Lembang in aspects like exhibit design, layout and theming, as well as animal choices.
 
I don't understand why LPZ chose to import their rhinos and giraffes straight from Africa when there are zoos in Indonesia with surplus animals (i.e Taman Safari parks and Batu Secret Zoo) where they can get them easily without the lengthy permit process that might take YEARS to approve, and there might be a chance the permit might be rejected considering LPZ has 0 conservation values. They got the hippos from BSZ, why don't they get the giraffes and rhinos from there?

With Batu they have a rather small surplus of these animals (The only have there white rhinoceros, which haven't breed at all). Taman Safari have had succesful breedings of giraffes and white rhinos, though I'm not sure on the reasoning behind Lembang not getting them from Cisarua or Prigen. Part of me want to think that even Taman Safari knew sending these threatened animals to Lembang aren't worth the cost and risk knowing the nature of this zoo (Kind of explain that there's no confirmed public cooperation between the two), but its just a mere prejudiced speculation.

If these giraffes and rhinos from Africa were from national parks or even a legitimate farm, it would be very unlikely that they would consider sending them far away to Lembang (Considering no foul-play took place). Plus, local activists would be very opposed to this idea, which are justified if you again consider the nature of Lembang's management.
