[Milwaukee Man]

I’ll be visiting tomorrow, and this list will certainly come in handy - thanks for posting!

 

[wild boar]

No Grey's crowned guenons?

 

[Moebelle]

No Grey's crowned guenons?

The last evidence I personally have is from a member who spotted them in May. They rotate with the sifakas indoors.

 

[Persephone]

No Nile monitor? Seems the species grows ever rarer in the states.

 

[blospz]

I believe the zoo's sloths are Linne's two toed sloths, not Hoffmann's Two Toed. Also, yes, the red pandas are the Chinese subspecies.

None. This species remains common in unaccredited zoos.

I believe the zoo's sloths are Linne's two toed sloths, not Hoffmann's Two Toed. Also, yes, the red pandas are the Chinese subspecies.

Yes, you're right, I was at Lincoln Park the day before and got them mixed up.

Great work! I have a couple corrections to your list. The Discovery Forest is also home to a Radiated Tortoise and Red Footed-Tortoise along with a Three-Banded Armadillo (The Screaming Hairy and Six-Banded are almost never in this space.) The tortoise yard in the children's zoo is home to a Radiated Tortoise along with the Red-Foot you saw. The four Galapagos tortoises are all pure Geochelone nigra microphyes. The flamingo exhibit in Africa is also home to three Greater Flamingos which are used as animal ambassadors as well. There are no buff-cheeked gibbons on the Gibbon Islands currently as they are both in Jungle Trails while the baby northern grows up and there is a pair of Angolan Colobus in Jungle Trails that rotate with the Sifaka. The Grey's Crowned Guenons are currently behind the scenes but still at the zoo along with the ocelot who used to be in Night Hunters. The Cheetah Encounter species list currently consists of Cheetah, Domestic Dog, Serval, Red River Hog, and Cape Porcupine. I think that it and thanks again for such a wonderful list!

None of these things were on exhibit during this visit.

Now that you mention I think I did see Angolan Colobus, though I can't remember where - probably in an outdoor exhibit in the Jungle? Not 100% sure on that.

My apologies I was unaware that you were only doing species you saw. The tortoises, armadillo, and flamingo were most likely in educational programs when you saw their habitats. The cheetah encounter has ended for the season so those animals are all of exhibit unless you visit the run yard from the plexiglass viewing panels. As for the Colobus, it would have mostly likely been in the outdoor non opened-top habitat right before the Africa building.

Is this list still up to date?

It isn't far off. I know this doesn't help you based on your timeline but I will be updating my biannual list this coming January.
