Prospect Park Zoo Former Species

[thejbird]

Hello all! You may have seen my recent post of a current species list that I made for the Prospect Park Zoo, and, in addition to that, I decided to also make a list of every former species housed at the zoo that I could find. This is according to using the Wayback Machine to scrub through the entire history of their website, old photos and news articles, scrubbing through their social media and tagged photos, Google and Trivago review photos, old Youtube tour videos and, of course, any information I was able to find on Zoochat. Animals are listed in the exhibit order of my other species list and any species that were in the same exhibit space are listed together, even if it wasn't at the same time. If I don't know where the exact location of the species was but do know the general area, they will be listed in alphabetical order at the bottom of said area's section. If a species was housed in multiple areas, they will be listed in the area where I was able to glean that they spent the longest amount of time. Please feel free to respond to this thread with any corrections, recollections from past visits or historical knowledge, I'd love to hear it!
