Bongorob,
Can you give me a species list for realm of the red ape? That galliforme list would be very nice thanks. Could you also do one for hornbill as I can't find when the joined the zoos collection.

Thanks.
 
I don't have a list for the Realm of the Red Ape, though I suspect it may house the following.

Both subspecies, (or species if you agree with the latest classification) of Orang Utans obviously.

a gibbon species.
Salvadori's Pheasant
Great Argus Pheasant
Chestnut Thrush
Timor Sparrow
Java Sparrow
Timor Zebra Finch

hopefully some of the currently offshow Asian turtles

Green Pricklenape
Crocodile Monitor
Reticulated Python

Why don't they have the guan anymore. they are a wonderful species. Not as nice as the horned guan but they are just exceptionally rare in zoos.
 
For those of you that don't know this is what a bare faced curassow looks like.
