Hi, I was wondering (for a friend of mine) what zoos have all of the following animals:
  • African Elephant
  • Gorilla
  • Lion
  • Tiger
  • Black Rhino
  • Common Hippo
  • Zebra
  • Giraffe
  • Polar Bear
Many have come close but either have Asian elephants instead of African elephants, (like in St Louis), white or Indian rhinos instead of black rhinos, (Toledo, Pairi Daiza), or grizzly bears instead of polar bears (Sedgwick County).

So far the two zoos I have found that have all of these animals (in the United States) are Kansas City and Milwaukee. Are there any other zoos that have all of these animals?
 
The limiting factors here will probably be specifying African Elephant, Black Rhino, and River Hippo combined with the northern bias and decreasing prevalence for Polar Bear.

Looking over my list of hippo holding facilities and ruling out those that don't have the elephant and polar bear, your best bets on other facilities that hit all the marks would be Memphis, San Diego, and Toledo. Not sure on their rhinos or the presence of the more ubiquitous species, so you'd have to check those to confirm.
 
Milwaukee and Kansas City are the only two I know of.
There's some others that have them, if you aren't specific on species: Memphis has white rhino. Pittsburgh has pygmy hippo. Cincinnati and St Louis have asian elephant. Louisville has pygmy hippo and white rhino. ABQ has asian elephant and white rhino.
 
Polar Bear is the major limiting one, there's only about 25 places in the USA. 50 with hippo. Elephants are split pretty evenly, approximately 45 for each. For rhinos, there's about 30 places with black vs 60 with white.

Memphis has white rhinos, not black. They have everything else on the list though.
