My Little Garden Zoo: 2022 ZONE 6) ASIA

If I were to curate an actual collection of animal species from Asia for a real zoo I would find the task most daunting.  And the reason is obvious.  No other continent on our little planet has more diverse biomes from which to work.  

 Asian at My Little Garden Zoo, like all of the zones before it, only has room to exhibit a portion of my collection.  Those 18 species NOT on display this year include: Clouded Leopard, Amur Leopard, Snow Leopard, Amur Tiger, Himalayan Tahr, Sumatran Rhinoceros, Babirusa, Malayan Sun Bear, Lowland Anoa, Indian Flying Fox, Yak, Pere David's Deer, Indian Cobra, Snub-nosed Monkey, Celebes Crested Macaque, Proboscis Monkey, White-handed Gibbon, and Mongolian Hamsters.

And now for the 17 species that are on exhibit this year.
