Hello, this is AndyJ08. I’ve been wondering what the current inventory/status of procyonids (raccoons, kinkajou, coatis, etc.) in North American zoos is, and which species are the most common in raw numbers. Does anyone have a list or idea of which species are held where?

I created this population list for the Hartman’s Mountain Zebra. This population list records all births, deaths, and transfers of all Hartman’s Mountain zebras kept in North America. I will post an updated list each year in this same thread. The total population of NA consists of 34.52...

I created this amazing population list for these amazing wild horses. This population list records all births, deaths, and transfers of all Asian Wild Horses, also known as Prezewalski’s Horses, kept in North America. Until recently, two Przewalski horses were found in a Texas auction, which...

Is USDA reports a reliable source? After seeing bush dogs return to the Detroit Zoo, I wondered how reliable is this source.

Have any known AZA accredited zoos had or currently have European badgers? I'm doing a project on them and would like to know.

Hello all! You may have seen my recent post of a current species list that I made for the Prospect Park Zoo, and, in addition to that, I decided to also make a list of every former species housed at the zoo that I could find. This is according to using the Wayback Machine to scrub through the...

Hello all! I stopped by the Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn, N.Y. today and in preparation for my trip decided to prepare a species list. This is based on (in order of importance) my visit, Youtube tour videos made since its recent re-opening and the zoo's Instagram account posts since its...

Once again a new bird holders thread from the Argus! I have a particular affinity for this group and so I wanted to do it, but going forwards sixteen lists is plenty, so quoth the Argus, "new holders threads are nevermore." (Obligatory, sorry not sorry! :p) Anyways, this was an interesting one...
