[Mr. Zootycoon]

Not sure how active I'll be able to be for this challenge (no real zoo-related plans for the year yet), but let's see how far I can go. First zoo visit of the year was to Burgers' Zoo, where I skipped a lot of the outdoor parts because of the dreary weather, but nonetheless managed to see almost all of the species in the collection countable for this challenge!

Burgers' Zoo
01. Meerkat, Suricata suricatta
02. Swamp Wallaby, Wallabia bicolor
03. Waterbuck, Kobus ellipsiprymnus
04. Blue Wildebeest, Connochaetis taurinus
05. Aardvark, Orycteropus afer
06. Capibara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris
07. Seba's Short-tailed Bat, Carollia perspicillata
08. Merriam's Kangaroo Rat, Dipodomys merriami
09. Hispid Cotton Rat, Sigmodon hispidus
10. Collared Peccary, Dicotyles tajacu
11. Black-tailed Prairie Dog, Cynomys ludovicianus
12. North American Tree Porcupine, Erethizon dorsatum
13. Cactus Mouse, Peromyscus eremicus
14. Ringtail, Bassariscus astutus

Missed only the coati and the squirrel monkey because I didn't stop to look in their indoor holding.
