I'll be breaking up my list into multiple posts as it's too long to do in one sitting - I'll start with mammals. Species in bold were seen in the wild, and such wild taxa are included even if I have formerly seen them in captivity. New subspecies of species I have formerly seen are included seperately at the bottom.

Even just considering mammals alone I had such an incredible year in 2025. I knocked out tons of "overdue"-feeling species, several rare species kept at only a small handful of US collections, and a big blowout of species not found here at all thanks to a trip to Japan (I'm noticing no small amount of overlap between my list and the OP's). My bird list is even more substantial (thanks in no small part to a visit to Sylvan Heights, where I added dozens of species of ducks alone), and herps as well, but I'm most satisfied with my mammalian additions so that's what I'll limit this wall of text to.

In total, 66 new mammal species, all in captivity. I also recorded both "grivet" and "green monkey" this year based on their signage, but given how much uncertainty there is with the American Chlorocebus population, I figured I should exclude them since I had seen "vervet" in the past.
I wonder if it'll even be possible to have such a lengthy and impressive list again.

The year isn't over yet and I still hope to get some more bird lifers in December! As such, I won't list my birds here just yet, but I doubt I will get any more mammals or herps this year, so I will list them. I don't currently keep a captive lifelist, so these were all seen in the wild.

Gahh, I tried to get this species but ended up missing it both in the wild and in captivity...
Do you know which one? This species has been split into Broad-toed Feathertail Glider and Narrow-toed Feathertail Glider.
I'm surprised to see this here! I thought the species was very common in US zoos?
Were these at Ueno? If so, they've all been split into multiple species and the species status of Ueno's individuals is unknown, (hence why I left them as genus-level in my mammal post) as they are either confiscations from private keepers of unknown origin, or descended from such confiscated animals. It's possible they may be hybrids too.

I got very lucky seeing it at Zoorasia. I initially saw part of one from inside its little hut, but then after stepping away for a moment and coming back, I saw it trotting around a bit, then a second tanuki came out from the back and they cuddled together into a little pile. It was a highlight of the trip, for sure. A couple weeks later I went out to Kasai Rinkai Park as was discussed here a bit hoping to see some wild ones, but no luck there.
Whichever one Saitama Children's Zoo has. They were simply signed as "feathertail glider (Acrobates pygmaeus)" but I'm assuming that's a pre-split designation that doesn't tell us anything.
Not really! Zootierliste shows 14 US holdings, with many of them at unaccredited facilities I'm not familiar with. The western grey (which I have seen twice) is slightly easier to see with 17 mostly-accredited holdings, but neither grey holds a candle to the actually very common macropods like the red kangaroo (150) and red-necked wallaby (108). I guess ultimately it's something I could wind up stumbling across in the US eventually, but I'm not too surprised it hasn't happened yet. That said, you're now the second Australian I've spoken with who has vastly overestimated the prevalence of grey kangaroos kept in the US
Yep, those were all Ueno's. I knew about the somewhat murky taxonomy of their treeshrew and tarsier, but I'm averse to genus level listings on my personal life list if I can so much as hazard a guess... so I simply went with what was posted for them, which made its way here. At the very least, that was the only tarsier I've ever seen (and perhaps the only one I'll ever see), whatever it actually is. If their treeshrew is actually northern, then that one would be a repeat for me. I didn't scrutinize its appearance or anything, but at a glance, it did look sort of different from the northern treeshrews I've seen in the US, in a way that made it look more like the pictures of common treeshrews I've seen online. But I'm certainly no treeshrew expert.
As for the loris, what's the deal there? Like with the tarsier, it's certainly the only non-pygmy loris I've ever seen, so it was a new species for me regardless. But I'd love to know more if you're aware of any specifics.
Wow, only 14??? 17 for Western is crazy too. Eastern Grey is probably the most common captive macropod in Australia by a long shot - I think you'd struggle to find an Australian zoo without either Eastern or Western greys. Red Kangaroo, at least in my experience, seems significantly less common in collections than the greys. What other macropods are kept in the US? Red-necked/Bennett's Wallaby is also pretty common in Australian facilities, as is Swamp Wallaby. In my area of northern Queensland, Agile Wallaby and Red-legged Pademelon are very common choices for macropod paddocks but I haven't seen either anywhere else in captivity.Not really!

Oh sorry I got confused there - I was thinking i
of the Lesser Slow Loris. No changes to the Sunda as far as I am aware.
Yeah it's a fairly recent split so I'd imagine all in captivity would have been exported from Australia under the name Acrobates pygmaeus. Even those in Australian captivity are not differentiated. Even if they were purebred species, telling the two apart is very difficult, essentially requiring having thr animal in-hand to examine the underside of the toe pads.

Red kangaroo and red-necked wallaby are really the only super common ones. Off the top of my head, we also have common wallaroo, tammar wallaby, swamp wallaby, and Matschie's tree kangaroo (as well as brush-tailed bettong) in roughly similar numbers to either grey kangaroo. And then we have very few holders (<5 or so) for parma wallaby, agile wallaby, and yellow-footed rock wallaby. And that's it, unless I'm forgetting something that's the extent of macropods in the US. No pademelons or dorcopses or certainly no quokkas to be found. Of these, agile wallaby is the only one I haven't personally seen (although as mentioned, parma and eastern grey were both in Japan).

only one i know for sure is the Red fronted macaw (Ara rubrogenys) only started my life list this year but pretty much everything i saw i'v seen before , almost add'd a wild Boobook owl last night but it ended up being a tawny frogmouth (was dark and 3 of us thought boobook untill it flew off and we saw it better)
Nice list! Do note that all "Sugar Gliders" outside of Australia are not actually Petaurus breviceps following that species being split into several. 'True' P. breviceps are restricted to a small area of eastern and southeastern Australia, and the stock used to establish the international captive population was captured from Indonesia. The international captive population is probably Petaurus papuensis but it's hard to be sure.
