ZooChat Challenge North America 2021

First month is over and we have 11 participants already (not including myself - my plans to get out to zoos in January had to be scrapped, but this month I should finally get to post a count). It also looks like people are updating regularly which is a great start; let's keep that going.

Noticed a couple things to address, sorry if it seems late:

Having just looked it up, I know that Minnesota Zoo has Black-tailed Prairie Dog and will count it as such; in the future, though, you need to specify the exact species you saw (there are several species of prairie dog, for example). On a related note, remember in the future to use the Latin (scientific) names for all of your species counts also.

I had no issue counting your species this time, but a reminder to you as well to include Latin names in future updates.
 
Point Defiance Zoo
1. Virginia Opossum (Didelphis virginiana)
2. Harbor Seal (Phoca vitulina)
3. California Sea Lion (Zalophus californianus)
4. Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris)
5. Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus)
6. Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus)
7. Muskox (Ovibos moschatus)
8. Red Wolf (Canis rufus)

Quick note: I told someone earlier to include the date of their visit. I thought it was in the rules, but it's not; you can do that if you want, but it's not required.

Facility name, numbered species list, and Latin names *are* required for each update.
