Perhaps not in your lifetime, but it certainly was a subspecies of melanoleucus a few decades ago. Pituophis melanoleucus used to have a distribution encompassing almost all of the USA and northern Mexico until most of the subspecies were split up into multiple full species.

Good to know. From what I saw, it appeared that it used be considered a subspecies of P. catenifer, not P. melanoleucus, and was split from that species. If those two used to be considered one species decades ago, I did not see anything about that, but also admittedly didn't look to far into it.

Both vertebralis and catenifer were previously considered subspecies of melanoleucus, as well as vertebralis later / at other times being considered a subspecies of catenifer.

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.

The Japanese Sable unfortunately stayed hidden, and the "Owl Forest" (with five species of owls) was in a closed-off area.

I just got back from a weekend in Charlotte visiting family, so I figured I would hit up the local SeaLife aquarium, plus 3 other local facilities that I haven't visited (although one of them had no new eligible species). SeaLife and Discovery Place gave me a nice handful of shark species (with Discovery Center delivering a major surprise with a new species for me; the Japanese Bullhead Shark) and Carolina Raptor Center giving me a treasure trove of birds-of-prey (I really should have gone here last year). Everything that was signed was also seen, so no misses this time.

NSU42 · 10 Feb 2025

Well, at least I'm keeping up with one of these challenges. The North American one is going to have to wait for now as it is late and I've been go, go, go visiting places. Anyways, I visited 6 more places today all around Los Angeles, but most of them didn't have any new species for me that qualify for this challenge. Would have been 7 places, but when I got to one they were shut down to regular visitors until 2:30pm due to a birthday party (should've checked the website better) and there wasn't a way to make the rest of the day work that allowed me to somehow swing back to it.

My total is now at 186.

A great stay in "Hog Deer Creek" at Port Lympne proved quite fruitful for the challenge! Followed by a complementary visit to Howletts the next day, allowing for a near clean sweep of all the carnivores needed...

View attachment 767025

Port Lympne (24/01/2025)

Carnivora
14. Fossa, Cryptoprocta ferox
14. Northern Lynx, Lynx lynx lynx
15. Serval, Leptailurus serval
16. South American Coati, Nasua nasua
17. Pallas' Cat, Otocolobus manul
18. European Wolf, Canis lupus lupus

Rusty Spotted Cat and Fishing Cat were no shows. Hunting dogs were off show due to the weather limiting safari access to "Africa".

Howletts Wild Animal Park (25/01/2025).

Carnivora
19. Dhole, Cuon alpinus
20. Clouded Leopard, Neofelis nebulosa
21. Snow Leopard, Panthera uncia
22. Caracal, Caracal caracal
23. Banded Mongoose, Mungos mungo
24. African Hunting Dog, Lycaon pictus
25. Fishing Cat, Prionailurus viverrinus
26. Amur Leopard, Panthera pardus orientalis

Fishing Cats were very showy here and the Hunting Dogs were viewable, making up for the previous day. That makes the Rusty Spotted Cats the only needed no show this weekend. That said, I should be able to pick up the species at Exmoor or Axe Valley in the not too distant future.

Axe Valley Wildlife Park (16/02/2025)

Carnivora
27. Leopard Cat, Prionailurus bengalensis
28. Scottish Wildcat, Felis silvestris silvestris

37. Great Grey Owl, Strix nebulosa
38. Asian Brown Wood Owl, Strix leptogrammica

I had expected to add aeveral additional species to this list, but Arctic Fox and African Civet are no longer kept in the collection, and the bush dogs and rusty spotted cats were no shows. This species continues to evade me...

Wildwood Devon/Escot (16/02/2025)

Carnivora
40. Arctic Fox, Vulpes lagopus

Strigiformes
41. Snowy Owl, Bubo scandiacus

No bears - bad time of year to visit.

42. Sunda Gharial, Tomistoma schlegelii
43. Cuban Crocodile, Crocodylus rhombifer
