Bulk Animal Groups

They could add feature: EAZA member, because it would be interesting to see what animals are most common among accredited zoos.
Currently we can only see whole number for all small and big zoos and other random institutions in Europe.
Below lists for EN and CR species holdings. Sometimes im doing it of boredom.

I think if it's any group gonna do this without needing new enclosure types like aquariums or aviaries it's gotta be primates, relative to their diversity in zoos they are easily the most under represented group. I mean, at the very least, we need some decent New World Monkey rep between Spider-monkeys, Howler Monkeys and Marmosets, we need a
typical baboon species, a colobus monkey and a grey langur sp would be good, some more unusual lemurs like indri, shifaka or aye-aye and that's even before we get into just plain unusual stuff like uakiri, douc, golden-snub nosed monkey...

I also maintain that a tarsier or loris could be an interesting choice for an exhibit mammal.

I've noticed that you've only included mammals.
 
- Ungulates:
1. Red River hog
2. Père David’s deer
3. Addax
4. Giant Eland
5. Golden takin
6. Anoa
7. Dama gazelle
8. Blackbuck


- Primates:
1. Lion tailed macaque
2. Mantled guereza
3. Howler monkey
4. Spider monkey
5. Lion tamarin
6. Gray langur
7. Patas monkey
8. Gelada

- Carnivores:
1. Maned wolf
2. African civet
3. Striped hyena
4. Serval
5. Caracal
6. Coati
7. Fossa
8. Sloth bear
 
I'm fairly specific in my ungulate wants. Any ungulate is a good ungulate, and I would buy a "bulk" hoofstock package, but there are specific species I want for specific reasons. Saiga, Red River hog, peccary, donkey, musox, serrow, kudu, dikdik, gerenuk....

For primates, it's way more general. I want more, but as long as the species selected cover a good spread of size, habitat, and old world vs new world I'm happy.

The same for birds. As long we get some more waterfowl, I'm not fussed about the actual special.

I'd be very interested in a bulk "smallish mammal" pack with various rodents, lagomorphs, hyrax, civets, and such.
