Where do the Deer & Antelope Play?: A Look at America's Ungulate Populations

Gladys porter zoo is famous for holding plenty of species you can’t find anywhere else. They have the only harnessed bushbucks outside of Africa, bornean bearded pigs, red broken deer, gaur, Arabian oryx and bontebok, and they used to have jenticks duiker & hunters hartebeest. I think the award for largest collection of rare ungulates in the United States would go to either iron mountain ranch, sdzsp, or the Bronx zoo.
Thanks, I remember they sent some young Hunters antelope to the San Deigo wild animal park years ago but they just seem to fade away!.
I have not heard of the Iron mountain ranch before?
Are there any links to it?

What evidence do you have for them currently having the species?



They supposedly have one, but they aren't a zoo.
@ThylacineAlive has them, along with Capital of Texas, listed for holding this species. I probably should have worded that post differently, but I bet someone would have reported that Gladys Porter didn’t have them.

I've heard rumor the last ones at Gladys Porter are now gone, but can neither confirm nor deny.

Capron Park Zoo no longer keeps Visayan Warty Pigs.
 
Just an update on some things posted here since my hiatus:
-Columbus does still have musk-deer for the time being.
-Minnesota has not sent away their last goitered gazelle as far as I can confirm (@CheeseChameleon2007 where did you hear this?).
-Gladys Porter no longer keeps bearded pigs.

I talked to dhole dude on a Private conversation about this, I quote, "I asked a keeper who was there for a long time and she said they're gone. I told her, "what do you mean"? She said they were transferred somewhere else outside the zoo. All I saw in the exhibit were a multitude of pronghorn."
So The Keeper was my source, I would have stuck around but the zoo was closing and we were at the exit. :)

While I am not trying to dispute this claim, I will note that the Pronghorn and gazelles have always rotated, so seeing only Pronghorn in the yard does not prove that the gazelles are gone.

Additionally I heard that the gazelles were permanently retired off-exhibit due to their age.

Well Don't look at me, You'd have to ask the keeper. I didn't really even know goitered gazelles at were held at Minnesota for a long time, so I can't answer any of your questions, sorry.
@birdsandbats Maybe I'm just lucky, but every time I've been there the Pronghorn were out. ;)

@ThylacineAlive Again, I really don't know. Maybe Next time I go I'll try to ask Again, but I dont know.

But let's look at the Facts. People haven't seen them for a few years, they were really old individuals, and I doubt even if they were transferred they would be alive. The One thing we can agree on is that their gone now.

As Thylo said I've heard they've been retired for a while. IIRC when they were rotating the gazelles were out in the morning and the Pronghorn were out in the afternoon.
 
Maybe that's the case? I just don't know, I've never seen a single Goitered gazelle in my entire life. Case closed for me, People can continue the discussion, but I'm gonna leave the thread for a bit until more substantial information is unraveled.
