I have seen a lot of rare species and some of them luckily last year with first visits in Antwerp, Rotterdam, Planckendael, Singapore Zoo and Night Safari. But there are some animals, which I would like to see, but haven´t seen yet: Northern White Rhino; Sumatran Rhino;
Javan Rhino; Giant forest hog; Chaccoan peccary; Hirola; Mountain Nyala;
Walia ibex; Philippine eagle; Giant sable antelope; Iberian lynx; Mountain Tapir; Siemen Wolf; Kakapo; Massai Giraffe; Cape mountain Zebra; Tamaraw; Kouprey; Californian Condor; Pygmy ant-eater; Giant armadillo;
three-toed sloth; Dugong

I've seen some of these:
Northern white rhino, Masai giraffe and giant armadillo (London)
Sumatran rhino (Port Lympne, Bronx)
Philippine eagle (Planckendael)
Giant sable antelope, mountain tapir (Los Angeles)

I would like to see many of the animals in these lists, but I doubt if I'll ever see some of them.
 
@ Kakapo :

I am not sure, whether the extinction of the Kouprey is 100 % proved... The hope is the last to die !

@ Dassie rat :

Did you really saw Hippotragus niger variani at LA Zoo ? I never knew, that there where any of them shown outside of their natural Habitat in Angola...

By the way, I forgot to mention two additional antelopes, the Giant Eland and the Tchiru
 
@DassieRat, also London has never held Masai Giraffe according to ztl.

What's a "Tchiru"? Tibetan Antelope?

I saw the giraffe a few decades ago and it had the leaf-like markings typical of a Masai giraffe. Giraffe taxonomy has changed a lot since then. While I rely a lot on Zootierliste, it isn't perfect and there are zoos I've visited that had animals not listed in Zootyierliste.
 
I can add these animals also:
Mountain Nyala
Fiji Crested Iguana
Marine Otter
Giant Ibis
Snub-nosed Monkeys of any species
Hoatzin
Javan Leopard
Giant Forest Hog
Great Indian Bustard
Qinling Panda
Olingo
Riverine Rabbit
Saiga
Spix's Macaw
Goliath Frog
Moonrat
Alpine Ibex
Albatross of any species
Argali
Queen Alexandra's Birdwing Butterfly
Giant Armadillo
Culpeo

Now that I have planned my zoo trips, I was hoping to see both Arabian Oryx and Somali Wild Asses since I havnt seen both species and desperately want to see both. Is there a zoo who has both species?
 
Marwell has both Arabian oryx and Somali wild ass. As far as I'm aware I think marwell is the only ones with the oryx in the uk
 
Too many... Some are...

. Giant panda
. Red panda
. Koala
. Tree kangaroo
. Fennec fox
. Gorilla
. Orca
. Beluga
. Dolphin
. Whale shark
. Ocean sunfish
. Spotted hyena
. Proboscis monkey
. Mandrill
. Lemurs (I just see the ring-tailed)
. Emperor penguin
. Komodo dragon

Miami also has (from your lists): Black Duiker, Owl Monkey, Lowland Nyala, Gerenuk, Banteng, and Lowland Anoa.

If you are coming to Florida, also check out Disney's Animal Kingdom and Lion Country Safari. They are within driving distance and have more of the hoofstock on your list.

Driving to DAK from Miami is about a three and a half hour drive, though, and if one were to do both I would suggest staying in Orlando overnight and visiting the park on a different day to driving up.

I think that none zoo in the world keep this species yet, I'm right? For me is a shame as is one of my most wished ungulate species of the world.

You are correct. Apart from maybe some rescue centers or zoos within their native range, there are currently no Zebra Duiker in captivity.

Didn't the LA zoo hold zebra duikers at one point and do you know if Animal Kingdom still holds blackbucks as they are on my list too. I thought they still had them with banteng and Eld's deer?
