2022: Don't Turn On the Lights

See 10 species of ANY kind in a nocturnal exhibit. The exhibit does not have to be a full nocturnal house, any reverse-lighting or purposefully dim-lit exhibit counts. If you visit a nocturnal exhibit and the lights haven't been reversed yet, that still counts!


NOTE: The intention should be that the exhibit purposefully mimics a nighttime or crepuscular setting. For the most part, what does and does not count I will allow to be subjective to the player, but when submitting from lesser known or obscure displays such as this (I expect a great many of the applicable exhibits to be at least somewhat known within zoo communities), expect pushback. It's safer--and easier--to not try and push the limits on what you know does and does not count as a nocturnal exhibit (ie. a nestbox with a redlight heat lamp does not count).

Hall of Champions

This section consists of one game, where I have gone back and asked each of the prior ZooChat Global Challenge Champions to pick one species/animal that they would like to everyone else to attempt to find. As a reward for their hard work and well-deserved wins, the Champions are exempt from this challenge, should they choose to play.

* 2013: @ThylacineAlive Aldabra Giant Tortoise

* 2014: @TeaLovingDave Sand Cat

* 2015: @LaughingDove [unfortunately I could not get through to LD, who seems to have moved on from ZC. In his absence and honor, I will allow any African pigeon/dove to count]

* 2016: @devilfish Any bird-of-paradise species

* 2017: @Vision Long-Wattled Umbrellabird

* 2018: @Giant Eland Roan Antelope OR Sable Antelope

* 2019: @jayjds2 American Harpy Eagle

* 2020: @WhistlingKite24 Blue-Faced Honeyeater

* 2021: @twilighter Goodfellow's Tree-Kangaroo (Europe) OR Matschie's Tree-Kangaroo (NA)

* 2022: @twilighter Gaur OR Banteng


I also want to give the man we have to thank for all of the challenges, @Shorts, the opportunity to pick an animal he wants us all to see as a thank you for providing the forum with such a fun and long-lasting game for us to play: Okapi


  1. Sand Cat (Indianapolis Zoo)


“One-Zoo Wonder: complete one trial in a single zoo visit. Trials that require only seeing 1 species do not count.”

Now I understand this one may be a lot harder to complete this year than it was for the NA challenge last year, but it is doable. To hopefully make things a little easier, however, I am going to allow any challenges that have set criteria as well as being open-ended to be eligible for this challenge as long as all of the set criteria are met and at least one species that fits the open-ended category is seen all in a single zoo visit. Challenges that are entirely open-ended do not qualify for One-Zoo Wonder.


Additionally, I will allow people to fulfill this using a challenge completed retroactively. For example, if someone completes the Usborne’s Scavenger Hunt using multiple zoo visits, but then visits a zoo where they see all the necessary animals in one visit, they can retroactively use that to fulfill the One-Zoo Wonder.


  1. Indianapolis Zoo —> Pinni-Party

Wonder.


“Bona Fide Rarity Hunter: see at least 3 species exhibited by only 1 zoo in the US and Canada (can only count 1 species per zoo)"

This one I’m going to edit a bit more, both since it’s hard and because naturally I’m not making everyone visit American zoos to win this.


I am changing the challenge to mean seeing 3 species exhibited by only 1 zoo within your continent, not globally. Again, you are not required to see 3 species exhibited by only 1 zoo each worldwide, just 3 species exhibited at only 1 zoo within the continent you’re participating in. If you visit multiple continents, this challenge will apply to whichever continent the zoo you’re visiting is based in. The one species per zoo rule will remain in effect so people can’t win it with one visit to their local native rescue center.


I’m also going to add a bonus to this challenge: see 1 species exhibited by only one zoo in the world. Since this challenge is particularly difficult, it is not going to be required to say you completed the Bona Fide Rarity Hunter challenge, but I would encourage everyone to still give it a shot! It may make the difference in any theoretical tiebreakers.

To make things a little easier, I am also limiting the definition of “only one zoo in the world” to apply only to the continents where members are participating from. For example, if nobody from South America joins the challenge, then any South American animal displayed at only one zoo outside of SA will fulfill this challenge, regardless of whether they are also kept in SA. If somebody from South America joins the challenge AFTER you have already completed this bonus, then your entry remains valid, but that species will no longer count for the rest of the game.



Thylo's Bonus Challenge

See at least one predator-prey exhibit setup at any zoo. By predator-prey I mean Hagenbeck-style where predator and prey species are displayed side-by-side where they are intentionally able to view and, maybe sometimes in a limited sense, interact with one another.

Bona Fide Rarity Hunter (4/4)
Okay, this first entry might be controversial. My earlier visit to the pittsburgh zoo, on June 9 2023, in the smallest square tank that has previously held a frogfish, I saw this species. When I went on July 4, they had been replaced with small shrimp already. I have a photograph of this sighting as proof since they were obviously only showcased for a short time.
1. Nobbed Sea Slug (Phyllidia varicosa) - Pittsburgh Zoo
2. Northern Elephant Seal (Mirounga angustirostris) - Pittsburgh Zoo
3. Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus) - Georgia Aquarium
4. Tiger Shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) - Georgia Aquarium

I know that the sharks are not, but are either of the other two species unique globally? Is anything at any of the other zoos I visited unique globally? I find it very hard to tell, any help would be much appreciated.

Really impressive stuff but just one thing - I don’t think Trinidad poison frog counts for the See Don’t Touch challenge as it isn’t in Dendrobatidae - remember consciously taking it out of my own listings after my Colchester visit.

Thank you @amur leopard ! You are absolutely right about the Trinidad poison frog. I removed it from the total ( there are two positions with number 8 ) , but I forgot to removed it while copy/paste the species lists.
 
Lovely lovely (second ever) visit to Colchester Zoo today boosts my totals slightly in a couple of departments - hopefully I'll add a few more on in ten days' time or so.
