Species of note in the open enclosures include two subspecies of [[giraffe]], [[rhinoceros|rhino]]s (it was the last New World zoo to have [[northern white rhinoceros]]), [[vultures]], [[markhor]], and many species of [[antelope]], [[gazelle]], and [[deer]]. The park houses the largest, most comprehensive collection of hoofed mammals ([[ungulate]]s) in the world. However, the overall numbers of animals at the park have been greatly reduced.
