north america

I heard that the Columbus Zoo will have it's North American region redeveloped, I know they plan on having new exhibits for the Mexican Grey Wolves, Black Bears, North American River Otters, Bald Eagles, Canadian Lynxes, and Trumpeter Swans, but I’m kind of worried they’ll phase out some of...

2023 and me! Time to take a DNA test and see if you’re 100% ZooChat Challenge ready. Welcome to the 2023 ZooChat Challenge: North America! We’re coming off a big year, with a beast of a 2022 challenge and a record-setting 27 participants. Thank you all for your efforts (especially with...

I’m making this thread because (even with research on the site) I can’t seem to figure out if some species are kept in North America or not. The first species I’d like to ask about is the Golden Jackal. Is it kept in North America?

Long title, I know. But I’m curious about what kind of carnivore mammals from North, Central, and South America are held in North American zoos.

I’m very curious about what kind of small European mammals are houses across North America (dormice, moles, rats, etc) So if anyone knows any kept I’d very much appreciate the insights.

Toronto’s loggerhead shrike in the Americas Pavilion.

Many of us here discuss rare mammals and birds, but I've seen fewer discussions on rare herps. I was hoping someone here can help with pinning down rare reptile and amphibians in North American collections and am creating a thread for anyone to add information. Here is my observations from this...

The purpose of this thread is to document the births, deaths, and transfers of all koalas in North America... Yep, that's right! I'm back with another population list, a really easy-to-make one for that matter. Anyways, let's get right into it! According to the AZA/SSP, all the koalas here are...

Here's a new zoo concept; an almost all-american (north that is) zoo articulated around a Wild West town leading up to a big red-and-white Circus tent. It's somewhere in the great plains area of the USA. Species list in the comments.

Here's a list of all the North American Population lists that have been created by myself and various other zoochatters over the last couple of years. I'm aware of this thread created by EsserWarrior but that just lists species lists done by him and any requests made by others. To be clear, this...

The purpose of this thread is to document all births, deaths, and transfers of cheetahs in North America. This population is pretty healthy, genetically speaking, and has benefitted from numerous South African imports over the years. Most of the breeding is done at facilities that are a part of...

Yes, the title is accurate, rounding out the last nonpasserine group without a list, parrots is here. And my word it was hard to sort out! So many alternate names! As it currently stands, the list contains 111 species plus a generic (unspecified Rainbow Lorikeet.) Cutoff date is 2018 due to...

Here we go again, a smaller one this time. Originally I was going to tack this one on to the birds of prey thread with the coming update, but I decided that list was already big enough. Anyway, cutoff date is 2018, let me know any updates as always. **Note on Lanner, Laggar, Gyrfalcon...

THE INTRO I’m feeling.... pretty good. What, you thought I was going to quote a Taylor Swift song or something? This is an Internet forum; we don’t allow such nonsense here. Welcome one and all to the 2022 ZooChat Challenge: North America! This year we leave behind our fuzzy natives of last...

The purpose of this thread is to document the births, deaths, and transfers of Masai giraffe in North America. This is sort of like a finished product of a thread @Jaxton created a couple years ago and I'd also like to thank @EsserWarrior for your help! It should be noted that there are a couple...

What does a bored zoo nerd do on a stormy afternoon? He sits down and compiles another species holder list to keep updated. :p Owls are finally here, and actually not very many species around in numbers. But I'm sure Barn, Great Horned, Eastern Screech, and Barred Owls will quickly shoot pretty...

Which zoos have all three North American bear species? Polar Bear Grizzly/Kodiak Bear Black Bear The North Carolina Zoo is one that has all three, or will have all three again once it gets a new grizzly.

The purpose of this thread is to document all births, deaths, and transfers of all Amur tigers in North America. Overall, this population is quite large especially when compared to the Malayan and Sumatran populations. However, like both other subspecies breeding seems to have slowed down with...

So It’s 9:30 and I am at the JFK waiting until 1 PM for my flight to Turkey. So I thought I could share my experience with the Essex county Turtleback zoo. I went to Turtleback zoo on a Sunday (July 25th to be exact) with my brother since I cannot drive. Since it’s been a few days my visit I...
