The zoo contains a flock of [[Chilean flamingo]]s next to the enclosure containing both a herd of [[alpaca]]s and [[greater rhea]]s. [[Indian peafowl]] are allowed to venture around openly and freely across the zoo grounds, and are taken to an off-site facility for the winter months.

Prior to the 2013 flooding, the zoo also had an area section dedicated to South American animals such as [[giant anteater]]s, [[red-bellied piranha]]s and various [[New World monkey]]s, as well as a number of birds including several species of [[macaw]] and two [[Andean condor]]s. There also used to be an Australian animal portion, notorious for the '''''Creatures of the Night''''' exhibit, mostly consisting of various nocturnal animals such as [[bat]]s. Also present were a number of [[kangaroo]]s, [[emu]]s, [[monitor lizard]]s, and for a brief temporary time, [[koala]]s.

[[Kamala (elephant)|Kamala the elephant]] lived at Calgary Zoo from 1976 to 2014. While there, she gave birth to a male named Calvin in 1986, a female named Maharani in 1990.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Fields |first=Odyssey |date=2024-11-05 |title=Asian elephant Kamala dies at Smithsonian's National Zoo |url=https://www.aol.com/asian-elephant-kamala-dies-smithsonian-142953928.html |access-date=2024-11-05 |website=www.aol.com |language=en-US}}</ref> Calvin, then called Chanda, was indefinitely loaned to Ontario's [[African Lion Safari]] in 1989 as part of a breeding program.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Craig |first=Sue |date=1990-07-15 |title=130-kilogram pachyderm makes early debut |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/calgary-herald-130-kilogram-pachyderm-ma/168315133/ |access-date=2025-03-19 |work=Calgary Herald |pages=1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=1989-11-17 |title=The Mating Game |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/calgary-herald-the-mating-game/168315015/ |access-date=2025-03-19 |work=Calgary Herald |pages=87}}</ref> Maharani had a calf in 2007, which died shortly after birth due to [[elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2008-11-03 |title=Calgary zoo visitors, staff mourn elephant calf |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/calgary-zoo-visitors-staff-mourn-elephant-calf-1.739776 |work=[[CBC News]]}}</ref>
