animal

Some stores and facilities have animals on display in some or a majority of their stores. For example, Bass Pro Shop has some freshwater fish at my local store along with brook trout and wood ducks. At many Rainforest Cafe locations you can find tropical reef tanks. What stores also have...

Apologies if a thread like this already exists. I’ve recently found out that some zoos do over night stays were visitors can stay in a room next to lions, bears, penguins etc etc and I’ve decided to create a thread where you can share your best over night zoo experiences. I would love to know...

I want to know what marine or land animal species are in the Little Mermaid there would be separated categories from the original movie, sequels, tv shows, and remake. So far we got Ghost Crab (Sebaistan), Sergeant Major (Flounder), European Herring Gull or Northern Gannet (Scuttle).

Hey can anyone identify this turtle for me I saw this at Philadelphia zoo in 2023.

Sort of an unofficial sequel to the what is/are the worst kinds of zoo visitors? thread that I created, I would be intrested for you to share the stories of the weirdest, craziest things you've seen at a zoo. Not as in "this enclosure was terrible" or "I got really close to this rare animal", I...

Hi all! I've been taking photos of mods for the incredibly talented folks who add new species to Planet Zoo. I've started this thread to share some of my favorite shots with you all. Kafue lechwe Mod by Gabboi

After the success of my elephant thread, I thought I'd make a similar one, just this time featuring giraffes :)

Sorry if this thread already exists but I thought Id make a post for a bit of fun to see which elephant sub species people like the best. :)

Are there any zoos that have tried(and were successful)at having 2 or more different species in the same enclosure that was thought to be impossible to do? If that makes sense. Like predictor and prey, animals that would never mix in the wild, animals with different temperaments etc. What is...

After getting an exotic/dangerous animal license and you have everything you need, where do you get the animal? I’m guessing from other zoos/owners but how? I’m based in the uk if that helps.

Hi, I came up with this concept for a game earlier today, and I thought I'd test it out. The Goal: Create as diverse a list as possible between all the replies to this thread The Rules: I will start the game with a list of animals, where one part of the first animal's common name must be found...

Okay, so maybe this idea is a little far-fetched in terms of likelihood, however I think it would be cool to have a forum for all (or most) of the animals held in AZA facilities and like their basic requirements (space, population, mixability, feeding, enrichment, etc) and within the forum...

We all know about the standard animals most zoos contain in their African sections, but I'm super curious about what people think are under-represented African animals in zoos across the world, and which animals should be more represented than they are. For example, I think the Giant Eland and...
