I expect the "Bengals" are mixed subspecies.

The elephants were gone when I last went, and that was some 4 years ago I think.

Previously, most of the small fish in the main and cylindrical tank have been tangs, large angelfish, and triggerfish.

Some nice species there! No more ground hornbill?
 
After my first full day of work I learned many things and thus need to update/correct/add more information to some of the things on here.
  • I stated Six Flags was home to both Amur and Bengal tiger however after the recent passing of Odin (from old age), Six Flags now only has Amur.
  • In addition to American alligators and red-eared sliders, Alligator Isle is also supposedly home to an alligator snapping turtle although in the many times I've gone I've never seen him/her
  • I was correct in guessing the "Dilapidated Exhibit" in Tava's Jungleland was once home to a fox.
  • The Animal Nursery lineup has already changed: Where was previously the radiated tortoises (who where rather cleverly named Chimi and Changa by the way), now resides a month old lion cub and the skunk exhibit is now home to ferrets. Also I confirmed that the "under construction exhibit" will once again be home to a sloth (species unknown but probably also Linnaeus's)
  • The male lion passed away (also from old age) so the park now only has two lionesses and the new male cub.
  • The butterfly house is home to a lot more than "approximately 10 butterfly species." It is actually usually home to anywhere 40 to 70 species of lepidopteran at any one time. The majority are butterflies but it's also home to Atlas moths.
  • Two more things about the butterfly house: it is home to two, not one, Nicobar pigeons, and the radiated tortoises will eventually be moving in here (a former turtle pond is being converted)
  • I found out the main tank in "Shark Experience" still has spotted wobegong (I thought they'd left as I hadn't seen them in my last couple visits)
  • I saw a bird of prey being held behind the scenes, I believe it was a red-tailed hawk and I assume it's occasionally used in the "Wildlife Experience Show" because it was being held in that area.
  • Finally, I can indeed confirm @Great Argus that the ground hornbill is no longer here (whether it died or moved I don't know)

Are you working there?

No surprise you haven't seen the Alligator Snapper... (Nor have I, nor did I have any clue to its presence) Being as they're mostly aquatic and without any underwater viewing in a vegetated pond, would easily go undetected even by those looking for it.

I didn't know they had wobbegongs.

I know they had a Harris' Hawk, but that was a while ago. Red-tail is quite possible given occurrence of rehab birds.

Ground hornbill more likely moved, since they live so long.
 
Great Argus said:
Nice, good luck! Sounds like you're out front not directly working with the animals?
Click to expand...
Yes, no direct contact with animals. Basically I just stand around the exhibits, educate guests about the animals, and tell guests to stop it if they're doing something stupid (i.e. running, trying to cross a barrier, yelling at an animal, etc.) Getting paid to stand around exotic animals all day? That's my kind of job!

Half the zoo is empty. Do they have any future plans?
Click to expand...

I feel like they don't have anything major in the animal department... Elephants are gone, as are the lories and some other small animals... The one (two?) walrus they still own are out on loan... They pretty much have basic species in average enclosures for the most part. Very few species of any real interest to most avid zoo-goers (which is not the point of Six Flags, so not much weight there).

Here's what I've learned (I hope I'm allowed to share this): Most of the animal department completely agrees with what the two of you have said. Apparently, over the last couple years corporate has been under the impression that the guests don't care about the animals (which I assume is code for they didn't think the animals were making them any money). So cooperate has been slowly leaning away from animals and focusing on rides with the eventual plan of becoming a ride-only park. However cooperate recently did a large guest survey and to their surprise (but not mine) just as many people come to see animals that come to ride roller coasters. Apparently this is sending shockwaves through the cooperate ladder. So, *fingers crossed,* this hopefully means in the near future we'll be seeing more money pumped into the animal sector.

Interesting, and fingers crossed. They do have the only dolphins in the northern 2/3 of the state, and my guess is that's a large draw. Also they still do have a lot of the bigger popular animals (lion, tiger, giraffe, camel, wolf, sea lion, seal, penguins, alligator, sharks), which are what the average visitor wants to see.

Far as sharing, just use discretion. If it's been released to the public or it's something you're told as an answer to guest's questions, you're good. I wouldn't recommend posting every new insider thing you learn straight off the bat, but things like you've posted the last couple days are fine. Pretty much all stuff you could find out as a visitor if you did some digging. Per my own experience, when I learned of new animals or developments I respected my institution and didn't share until it had shared the news publicly. Most people appreciate and take note of respect like that. My two cents, and look forward to hearing how things go.
 
I will be near the Six Flags in NJ next week. Is it worth it? Is it as empty as the one in CA?
 
@Great Argus Thanks for the information. I'll keep it in mind. (Also there are not camel and there haven't been in like 4 to 5 years)

@drill Sorry for not seeing your question. Did you end up going?

Also here are a few more species I've discovered call SFDK home (and I've made sure I'm allowed to say this things):

Butterfly house
  • The koi pond in the butterfly house is also home to butterfly goldfish
Wildlife Show Animals
  • I confirmed the unknown birds of prey are red-tailed hawks
  • The "scarlet macaw" is actually a ruby macaw (a scarlet/green-winged macaw hybrid)
  • There is an umbrella cockatoo
  • There is a serval cat
  • There is a silvery-cheeked hornbill
  • There is even a southern tamandua (I knew they used to one but I think this is a new one)
Reptile House BTS (A very kind keeper allowed me briefly BTS. That is actually one thing I've definitely noticed, all the keepers are extremely nice)
  • The Gila monster is off exhibit due to a malfunctioning heating rock and once that's fixed will be back on exhibit
There were many tanks and I couldn't see most of the inhabitants but I definitely saw a
  • European legless lizard
  • Eastern indigo snake
  • Boa constrictor

Also, sidenote the job is going absolutely amazing. I wake up genuinely looking forward going to work

I decided to make a Google Doc species list, like the one I made for Sacramento, so I could update it as needed: Six Flags DK Species List.
Also, I have discovered a few new species since I last posted: red fox, yellow-headed amazon, and yellow-naped amazon
