Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden Species list by exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo
- Thread starter Moebelle
- Start date
A male had to have come during the winter because Kuvua wasn't seen for months before and after that. To rap things up, there is no known male at the zoo. But ISIS says there is....so maybe there is. Not sure I've seen one okapi once after Kuvua's "disappearance", so it might have been a male.
I say Kuvua is the only one because when Thane Maynard announced that she was pregnant, he didn't give any recognition to the male.
only about a 6/10. Positives: the rare and endangered hoofed animals including the Indian and Sumatran rhinos. There are white lions, Mueller's gibbons, a banded palm civet that only one other zoo has(Columbus zoo), sugar gliders, bonobos, an aye-aye, cloud rats, galagos, pottos, Pallas' cats, Malaysian elephants, buff-cheeked gibbons, many reptiles that no other zoo has, and the extremely rare invertebrate collection.
Negatives: They have gotten rid of a ton of rare animals: Scimitar horned oryxes, other langur species, striped possums, margays, Geoffrey's cats, snow leopard(for a good cause), Pampas cat, jaguarundies and many more that I can not remember.
* Would usually mean that around 30 zoos or less have that species, depending on how usual of an animal they are. For example there aren't that many zoos that have lowland gorillas, but since they are such a well known species, I did not put a star next to it.
** This ranges from 2 to around 10 zoos that have this species. Or if many zoos have a species that is very rare, then two stars would apply.
*** This means that the Cincinnati Zoo is the only zoo to have a certain species whether it applies to the U.S. or the world.
I was at Columbus earlier this year hoping to see this critter, but apparently he/she had passed away sometime last year. Luckily I was going to Cincinnati the next day. So that leave's Cincinnati's as the only one in captivity outside of it's home range.
Thank you for the update, I was wondering what happened to it on my visit last month.
But two stars also means that the Cincinnati Zoo is the only place in either the U.S. or the world has that species.

Well in the case of Aardwolfs just in Europe you can see them at Tierpark Berlin(Germany),Tayto Park(Ireland) and also in Edinburgh Zoo and Hamerton Wildlife park in the UK,so Cincinnati is not the only place that they can be seen!

But he/she said either can be seen in the world or in the US, so maybe aardwolves can only be seen in the US at Cincinnati.

Nothing like edging your bets,but it still stands that there are more places outside the USA in which you can see Aardwolfs!!

Up until very recently AArdwolves were very rare in european collections and afaik the above mentioned Zoos got them from the same place during this year (rscc?) So i was wondering are they all wild caught or was rscc breeding them and if so, I assume they would all be related? The Tayto Park ones look to be young animals.

They are not all from the same source,as only the Eastern came from RSCC,whilst Hamerton actually has 2 sub-species of them!
The Cincinnati Zoo is the only place in the US currently exhibiting aardwolves I never said just the world. And who cares about how many zoos have aardvarks, I never even said anything about aardvarks. Seriously do you have something against me for saying that. It is true, the last zoo to have them was Montgomery and before that was Cincinnati again.

While this may be true--and of interest to zoo nerds-- it is also rather likely that it will be the last zoo to exhibit them as well. There are simply not enough of these fascinating critters to sustain a captive population, without additional imports of wild caught animals from dodgy animal dealers....
Now I will show the # of males and females for each species
