Bronx in 1902, 1912, 1916, or 1917 <3 (Thylacines)

Or when they kept all three elephant species or maybe even just the 90's so I can remember the Sumatran Rhino, Proboscis Monkeys, African Striped Weasel, Hoatzin, etc...

where was the African Striped Weasel kept!? I don't remember that one!!

As for pygmy hippos; the zoo had them on display on the top end of the Africa trail (where the Congo Forest is now). That area used to be a small South American section and on the main trail were 4-5 forested exhibits for babirusa, tapir, duikers and pygmy hippo. They had a decent breeding record too, so I was surprised they were not included in the renovation to Congo Forest. Hopefully soon they will rejoin the collection because they are an endangered species and an entertaining animal too.

Does anyone know/remember what duiker species were kept in those forested exhbits? I remember Babirusa and potentially Pudu kept there in the 90s
