There were only two signed shark species I did not see (Sicklefin Lemon Shark Negaprion acutidens and Japanese Wobbegong Orectolobus japonicus), but there was also a large ocean tank with no signage so I don't know which species were in there (definitely some extra ones) and I had to miss out a section of the aquarium which housed other seals and penguins which no doubt had extra tanks for sharks because there were sharks everywhere! They also had Blacktip Reef Shark Carcharhinus melanopterus but I had already seen that species earlier in the year at the Fantasy Aquarium in China.

I just got back from the North Carolina Zoo today and saw 24 of the 28 eligible species that they have (although 4 of those I already had, so I only gained 21 new credits). Unfortunately, they currently do not have any pinnipeds. I also missed two of their snake credits and their Black Bears (again) due to no-shows.

Current Total - 29
  • North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences (01/04/2025) - 8 (Total 8)
    • Eastern Copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix)
    • Eastern Milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum)
    • Emerald Tree Boa (Corallus caninus)
    • Northern Cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus)
    • Pygmy Rattlesnake (Sistrurus miliarius)
    • South American Milksnake (Lampropeltis micropholis)
    • Tamaulipan Milksnake (Lampropeltis annulata)
    • Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus)
  • North Carolina Zoo (02/01/2025) - 21 (Total 29)

    • Sinaloan Nightsnake (Hypsiglena torquata)
    • Speckled Rattlesnake (Crotalus mitchellii)
By the way, how come some lizards (like Monitors) aren't included? Monitor Lizards seem like a very glaring omission, especially since Komodo Dragons qualified for the 2024 North America Challenge (Apex Predators).
 
Nice little walk around Shepreth today, lovely weather - couple of no-shows but hopefully I'll see the cloudies and the Maned wolves next time.

As per usual happy to make any adjustments should I have calculated my answers incorrectly. Subspecies are included on here simply because of the ease of copying from the lifelist but I am certain to make sure that I do not include any other species from the same binomial. All for good fun after all.

74. Blacktip Reef Shark (Carcharhinus limbatus)
Click to expand...

Need to start of with a correction here as I realized I gave the wrong common name here, but the scientific name is correct. These are Blacktip Sharks (at both Acuario Inbursa & Acuario Michin), not the more common Blacktip Reef Sharks. The edit will be reflected in my lists from here on out.

Now onto my update. Today I landed in Santa Barbara to begin what will be a week and half of going to zoos and aquariums from Monterey/Fresno down to San Diego/Palm Springs. Today after arriving, I hit the Santa Barbara Zoo and Santa Barbara Natural History Museum Sea Center.

Before getting into my list, I quickly need to note that my phone is being a serious pain in the a** right now and not allowing me to access my pictures from today no matter what I do. Because of that I am listing these species off memory while referencing the zoo's website and old species lists here (luckily the zoo is not that big and hasn't changed a ton so this isn't all that difficult). That being said, I may have a few additions later on as there were for sure 3 snakes on exhibit that I can't recall exactly what they were and will need to wait until my phone decides to work (this may not be until I'm back home and have the tools to access my SD card though). Everything below is what I can remember/confirm with 100% certainty.

There were only two signed shark species I did not see (Sicklefin Lemon Shark Negaprion acutidens and Japanese Wobbegong Orectolobus japonicus), but there was also a large ocean tank with no signage so I don't know which species were in there (definitely some extra ones) and I had to miss out a section of the aquarium which housed other seals and penguins which no doubt had extra tanks for sharks because there were sharks everywhere! They also had Blacktip Reef Shark Carcharhinus melanopterus but I had already seen that species earlier in the year at the Fantasy Aquarium in China.

35+ shark species in one aquarium?!?! That is an absolutely crazy number for one place. Wow!
 
Two more zoo visits today. This time to the Fresno Chaffee Zoo and California Living Musuem. Also, I still don't have access to my pictures from yesterday, but I knew I'd be adding at least one thing from the Santa Barbara Zoo as I realized I forgot about the Chinese Alligator, so I am adding that to today's update.

My total is now at 130.
