Question, I'm due to visit AAP soon, which has select species on view for the public. Am I allowed to include species from there? I'm guessing not since it's a rescue centre...
 
I don't think we could really allow those, as it is a zoo challenge and Stichting AAP isn't a zoo, as you mentioned.

I would, however, be very interested in the things they have on-show though! :P

It would have allowed me to add bonnet macaque, talapoin and northern pig-tailed macaque :p but ok fair enough!!
 
Car problems this morning meant I didn't have time to go to the 2 zoos I'd planned today, but the one I went to added more for this challenge than the other 2!

Stichting AAP does however have a Dutch zoo licence, so technically it is a zoo and the animals that are on public view thus countable.

Past challenges have required 'zoos ' to be regularly open to the public, not just on selected days, so Heythrop, the Kent Big Cat Sanctuary etc have been excluded in the past.

If it's open year round to the general public it should probably be included, if not no.

I thought it interesting to note, but the maximum score (if we're going by ZTL) anyone can get in this game is, as of the time of writing, 156. This is including the difficult to spot (and technically offshow) Heck's macaques at Howletts and the even more difficult to spot Goodman's mouse lemurs and greater dwarf lemur at Zurich....I doubt anyone will get even close to that number as that would include a lot of travelling, but was interested to see that :)

Side note, there are four species that according to the challenge rules will not be able to be added if we're going by ZTL, and that's the Andean saddleback tamarin and Assam macaque (Russia only), southern talapoin (Gran Canaria only, annoying as I have seen it) and Guianan red howler monkey (French Guiana only).

EDIT: If people have seen the recently deceased Sumatran surilis (like myself :p ), then the maximum score is 157 ;)
