Interesting! This must be a very recent development as it is not even reflected in ZIMS yet, and GPZ is pretty reliable on ZIMS. They are within the range of the species, so it would not surprise me if they received a rehab animal recently. Their grounds are also prime for water birds.
Not to worry though, I probably have at least a half dozen other species to fill that criterion with
For myself, I wanted to have one mammal, one bird, and one herp for this challenge, so I would swap my DWA entry from the brown-throated three-toed sloth to the long-wattled umbrellabird (Cephalopterus penduliger) and then sub in the Sulawesi bear cuscus (Ailurops ursinus) from Memphis as my mammal species.
Figured, I was just reporting what I found. Based on signing and IUCN its a European Herring Gull. Might be one other collection that has it so I won't be putting it down yet.
Great! Wasn't sure with the deadline. The visit from earlier in the year will have to wait a bit as most those photos are on a hard drive at home, but I started putting together my list last night.

I would not be surprised if that is the case. Or it could even be they signed the wild birds because they are prevalent enough on the grounds as discussed towards the beginning of this thread. There is no mention of them being held at Gladys Porter on Zoochat from what I can tell, including on fairly recent species lists, so it might be brand new.
I'm glad it still worked out! I saw you had been to Memphis so figured the Bear Cuscus might show up.

Yes, but you should count it as 17 because the previous post you quoted has Mountain Goat as your 16th
Some error was made here. Between your Southwick's visit and your 4-zoo update from April 30, you upped your Silk and Stinger score from 4 to 5 without providing a fifth species... so either you missed an entry from that time or you are only at 5/6.
If European mouflon counts now, I have an addition from the Toronto Zoo.
Bovine Bonanza (9/20):
9. European mouflon (Ovis orientalis musimon)

Interesting, I think Naples was advertised at being the only place to have them currently. Metro Richmond no longer lists the species in their online animal list and I'm not sure about Zootastic Park. Anyone want to offer some clarity? Either way, I'll look into switching out the species with something I know isn't in another place.

Either one of you is a day off or this was a very unfortunate coincidence
2 of 4. You already had Chilean from earlier this year.
I'd switch out with another species. As long as there's any doubt that Naples isn't actually the only holder - and 2 places reported as having them recently qualifies - it doesn't really meet the benchmark required.

I may have lost this challenge, but I’ll try to get a “high score” of sorts before the year ends.(PS: Platypus, Uakari, AND Ring-tailed Mongoose in half a year? I’m jealous!
