Current species aswell?

Are you wanting numbers or just species?

I am looking for just species kept at the park since it opened if you could help I would be very grateful

I know they've kept American bison, emu, rhea, brown bear (unsure of subspecies), baboon (possibly), dromedary camel, Highland cattle, fur seal. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head though, sorry!

Might be worthwhile getting Bob Lawrence's autobiography as he talks a lot about the animals they have kept over the years

There used to be DeBrazza monkeys along the wall where the bats are now, and possibly Barbary macaque and Patas monkeys too? I forget. Also, not sure if they still hold them but I remember seeing Wapiti and Mouflon there.
