Zoo promotional material for animals no longer at the zoo

You can see a few of them in these photos by @TinoPup

Ah, an older map, as well.

Also, I just remembered there was signage for ibex on Serengeti Crossing during the early-mid 2000s. I had never once seen them. An African savanna isn’t exactly the most appropriate habitat for ibex, anyway.

During my most recent visit to Wellington Zoo (in October 2023), I noticed two examples of this:

-A photograph of a Red-fronted Macaw on a small sign that was above the entrance to the zoo.
-Art of chameleons in the wallpaper of at least one of the walls of the gift shop.

Bird Paradise Singapore has a info sign about Purple-crested and Hartlaub's Turaco, but they are likely off-show or not in the exhibit anymore.

Here's another one related to Chester. In the car park there are big sign posts to guide visitors where to park. On the posts are height charts displaying in centimetres (from the ground) the height of the post and also different animals at the zoo of that height. The posts have pelicans on them but the zoo has not had pelicans for about a decade now.

Not a "no longer has" case but a "never had" case but the Night Safari features three statues of Australian animals: a Tasmanian devil, a wallaby and a quoll, and they have never had any quoll. They also have a statue of a black rhino at the entrance of the Indian rhino feeding area

Bird Paradise Singapore has a info sign about Purple-crested and Hartlaub's Turaco, but they are likely off-show or not in the exhibit anymore.

1 Hartlaub's turaco lives at the Fragile Forest, don't think Bird Paradise has ever had them. Last I remember, there was a sign for the blue crane and there used to be a sign for Magellanic steamerduck, both of which they don't have

Not sure if it’s still there but there was a panel displaying a picture of an elephant around the entrance of Twycross zoo, which remained for years after they left.
