No Problem.
I always liked how the LA Zoo labeled each exhibit. I wish more zoos did stuff like this.
In honor of enjoying the way Los Angeles Zoo would number out their exhibits I've transcribed their map from my first trip there in summer of 1994. As you can imagine I was amazed by the collection at the time. It was the first time for me seeing so many of these animals.

Thanks for doing that Giant Eland! Hopefully some of those species will be once again be exhibited at the zoo in the future...
Also, is it possible if you can take a photo or maybe scan the map so that you can upload it here in zoochat? I would like to see numbering of the exhibits from 1994, since they are completely different to the current map.

i also rememeber back in 1994 there were malayan tapirs and giant anteaters
Looking at the 1994 list, there are a lot of ZooChatters who would salivate over seeing all of these in one place today:
jentink's duiker
sumatran rhinoceros
harnessed bushbuck
red uakari
mountain tapir

and zebra duikers!
i'm at the point of tears that i wasn't around in '94 to see those species. are there any mountain tapir in europe? here's hoping there a couple in berlin somewhere.
Well that is just not right. An AZA zoo should not be crossbreeding zebras with duikers!

There is no Mountain Tapirs in Europe, sorry. They are beautiful animals, but unfortunately will be phased out.
@AD: haha
@cat-man - If it is any consolation, all three western hemisphere tapirs (mountain, baird, brazilian) look nearly identical. Seeing a mountain tapir would not be much different than seeing the brazilian tapirs that I am sure are plentiful in Europe.
, why are they being phased out?
, that's a real shameMountain Tapirs are significantly different-looking from the other two species (and much more attractive I might add). It is a real shame that the zoo population is unsustainable and disappearing.
At one time when Manuel Moliendo was the director they were talking about bringing in more mountain tapirs from Columbia to make the program sustainable. I wonder why it never worked out?

Instead of importing some from Columbia, the zoo recently sent a pair (I think the pair that was at the SF Zoo) to Columbia.

To me, the mt. tapirs look like they have a much thicker coat of fur/hair. The reason they are being phased out is because of the low number of founders. A mistake, in my opinion; you breed what you have and keep it going, as you never know when another wild-caught might become available. And a small number of founders does not always mean an un-healthy population; look at the lowland anoa.
