Planet Zoo Species Challenge 2023

This seems like fun! I've compiled my list, and tried to do it with as little zoos as possible. I've used the template to fill in, here it is! Planet Zoo Species Challenge justGoron

I've seen 134 of the animals this year already, so I won't list them all here. With 20 of the remaining ones being impssible for me to see this year with the trips I still have planned, that leaves 12 animals for me to potentially see, mostly bugs that aren't listed on ZooTierListe so I'll just have to run into them. The red knee tarantula I know I've seen several times, but I can't remember where exactly so I'll just have to keep my eyes open...

The only thing I'm unsure of is the Artic wolf, I've seen hudson bay wolves at Artis, do they count? Otherwise I don't think I can see any.
