Hi, I was lookling at the animals that were kept in the rotterdam zoo around 2007. I have a few questions what was kept in some enclosures and where some animals were kept since I dont remember seeing some species. Where were the Lowland anoa's kept? Where were the alaotra gentle lemurs kept? Where was the temminck's golden cat kept? Where were the vietnamese sika deer kept? Are there photo's of the springhare enclosure? Are there pictures of what was onto the sight of what is now the giraf and hyena enclosures? I tought there were red kangaroo, sika deer and a lot of small bird enclosures, don't know for sure. What was on display in the small monkey enclosure on the other side of the gorilla enclosure? What was kept together with the gorilla's? I remember the greater white-nosed monkey, the guerezas and the white-naped mangabey. what was kept in the small enclosures on the other side of the lion enclosure. I remember snowy owls, before they were brought to their enclosure in artica.
 
anoa; between the banteng and lion-tailed macaque (enclosure now merged with the bantengs)
bamboo lemurs; Rivierahal (front left side, next to the entrance of the gorilla indoor section)
golden cat; next to the Malayan tapirs (close to the restaurant). Enclosure was demolished.

No other species were mixed with the gorilla's, but there once were pottos in an enclosure in the gorilla observation hut.
 
In addition to what Ralph already said:
-The golden cats were somewhere around Taman Indah and the Twin Buildings (current 'Gate to Asia' restaurant). I believe they had an outdoor enclosure between the tapirs and the restaurant, but they might have also had an indoor enclosure in Taman Indah at some point. It's from before I really got invested in the park... There's a pic in the ZooChat gallery that I personally am unable to place anywhere in the zoo, couldn't find any other (helpful) images. Maybe someone has a spare map from the 2000-2012 period laying around.
-The Vietnamese sika deer were kept in what's now the new extension of the Indian rhino enclosure, next to the mountain animal rock.
-The small gallery behind the old lion/tiger building have housed pretty much every animal imaginable at one point. In it's latter day it was primarily in use as an enclosure for sand wallabies.
-It was mostly kangooroo enclosures at the spot of the giraffe enclosure.
