This was my first visit to Toledo, and a "hellishly pleasant" at that! A great zoo with some great exhibits and species, but the hellish time restraint of around 3.5 hours I had surely made things interesting :p. Nevertheless, I managed to prioritize getting a full species list down (minus the Barnyard, which was closed whilst I was there), even if it meant that I didn't look into a few terrariums in the arthropod room or that some of the exhibits in this list are out order. :confused:

To provide a sort-of "key" to the list, which is directly pasted from my notes, each exhibit is seperated by a space. Species marked with a "." next to them are those I saw, and those with a "*" are lifers, or at least they are not physically recorded on my lifelist as a species or subspecies (because obviously I've seen Monarch butterflies in my life :p).

That should be it! Any questions, comments, and concerns are always welcome :).
 
Thanks so much for this! I don't know how you managed this in 3.5 hours. I was here for 8 hours and while I saw the entire zoo I didn't have enough time to get a species list.

Very nice to see that the Karner Blues and Mitchell's Satyrs are on-exhibit now.

There was definitely loads of rushing involved, I really do need to visit again soon to properly take it in :P.

Very nice to see that the Karner Blues and Mitchell's Satyrs are on-exhibit now.

So I'm not sure about the satyrs, but I do know the Karner blues at the time of my visit were still in the caterpillar stage! They'll defnitely be in the exhibit in the coming weeks, I was told.
 
The hagfish is an awesome new addition that (almost) makes up for the loss of the sea snakes!
Not new- Toledo's social media dates hagfish back to 2019, and if I recall correctly that predates their most recent group of sea kraits?
 
It being actually on-exhibit is new though.
No, the reference I was referring to was a Facebook post announcing that the hagfish were on exhibit. Whether they’ve been taken down repeatedly over the past few years I would not know, but the species certainly is not new to the zoo, and not a new exhibit animal.
 
Cave salamanders? They're right next to the sturgeon tank I believe. However if you actually want to find any, look into the crevices of the rocks in darker areas. I sometimes work at the sturgeon tank, so I often go see them when it's been a slow hour. They're the little orange fellas. :]
