Date of visit: June 4 2022
Species not seen in italics
Note: Very few enclosures are marked on the map, meaning I basically had to check every nook and cranny of the park I could looking for animal exhibits. Large areas of the park have no animal exhibits, making this very annoying. I think I found them all but I would not surprised if I missed a few enclosures here and there. Nearly all mixed-species exhibits feature only signs for some of their inhabitants, so I am sure I missed some species there, too. Basically, this list is as complete as any normal visitor to this zoo could reasonably make, but it is far from perfect and is likely missing some important and/or rare species.
Additional note: I did not go in the Rainforest Café, though I believe there is some tropical reef fish in there.
