Which in-game species have you seen IRL?

Haven't updated my list in a long time, I missed at least 6 dlcs, so here's my new list with all the animals.
As for the lion, I was going for the generic African lion.
I have seen Asian black bears but not Formosan black bears. Same for the HBB, I've seen plenty of European brown bears, some Syrian brown bears and Kamtchatka brown bears, once a grizzly bear and (I think) a Kodiak bear but not the HBB. I've seen plenty of water buffalos but not the wild ones (as there aren't any in captivity). Pure Arctic wolves do not exist in captivity either (at least not in Europe), hence I haven't seen one.

Haven't been to a new zoo yet so no need to make an updated tierlist yet. For the barnyard pack:
  • Highland cow - seen basically everywhere "in the wild" across Scotland
  • Sussex chicken - seen at a few farms
  • American standard donkey - I believe it was the standard donkey at the Columbus zoo, looked bigger than a miniature and the animal sign just said domestic donkey
  • Alpine Goat - Not seen
  • Alpaca - Seen at various petting zoos
  • Radnor Sheep - Not seen
  • Tamworth Pig - Seen at some farms
If going by general domestic goat or sheep, then yes I've seen those aswell.
 
The Bengal tiger is kind of strange in the fact the largest bengals are in the wild vs captivity. Meanwhile due to habitat destruction and dwindling prey animals the Siberian is much larger in captivity and much smaller in the wild.

Are you talking about population or specimen size?

Here's mine updated for the summer! Had the opportunity to visit 14 zoos this summer. At this point, there are only a handful of species that I haven't seen in game that I can see without leaving my continent so I'm pretty proud of how far my list has come!

A bit preemptive to comment on the upcoming pack just yet, but I did want to mention that it’s amusing that currently I’m at 1 out of 3 for the new pack (just the baboon) but could potentially be at 3 for 3 by the time the pack releases since I’ve already got plans to visit zoos with both the Pallas's cat and markhor within the next week. Just found that sort of amusing.
 
Well, speaking about animals, the Houston Zoo just got an Amur leopard. As well as the Birds of the World opening, I have a lot of things to see and hopefully can check off the list. I haven't been to the zoo in ages
 
Seen:
  • Markhor at highland wildlife park
  • Pallas Cat at Columbus Zoo
Unsure about hamadryas baboon, I have a feeling I have seen them somewhere but I'll check in more detail when we get the full roster.
