Not anymore you can't, unfortunately; there's a time limit on editing posts. That's why I made my suggestion when you had just started and still had enough time to edit what you'd already done ;):p

You still haven't done the indoor Reptile, Small Mammal, or Amazon houses yet, so if you have lists for those as well you can still do it for them - especially given that there are more species in those.

I didn't get those since I didn't have enough time to visit and Amazonia is currently closed

If you didn't have time to visit the 3 biggest species areas in the zoo why are you attempting a species list?

this is an updating list, meaning I will make new posts if a new species has been added, I find out about a formerly displayed species or if confirmation is given of what the unsigned organism was, then I'll add it.
 
The other species list is here: Species List Dec 2019 [Smithsonian National Zoo]

It hasn't been posted on for a year, and there's no problem with making a new species list of course (separate thread lists makes it easier to directly compare one to another I find, rather than trying to find updates across several different posts), but if the zoo's collection hasn't changed much over the time-frame then simple updates in an existing thread does seem more logical.

Just wanna make this clear, I know people like to put common names for convenience sake, but I'm a binomial guy when listing things completely and plus, no need to be to rude, but you can google the binomial and find out what I'm referring to.

As others said earlier, not having the common names just makes the list pretty much useless for (probably most) people unless they spend their time googling almost every name. You say that people only include the common names "for convenience sake" - but that is the whole point of making species lists for people to use.
