question

Hello Zoochatters, This is my first post here so hopefully I'm not breaking any rules, but I've run into a dead end while doing some research that I figure you all might be able to help me with. Recently I've been digging into the largest recorded individual Aldabra tortoises. While there...

Later this month, I will finally visit the Smithsonian National Zoo once again for the first time since my last visit way back in 2012. However, while I usually don’t have much trouble in terms of planning an easy to follow course for a typical zoo visit. I have been rather uncertain on choosing...

Hello! After planning for other 4 years, I am finally able to visit Zoo Atlanta and Georgia Aquarium this winter. So In planning the trip I have a few questions. 1. Will there be any animals that won't be visable due to winter weather? my main targets are the Giant Panda and Drill. 2. How busy...

Hello everyone! New member here, but I've been doing photography and sharing it elsewhere since 2021. Recently I upped my game and upgraded my kit, but I am trying to figure out how people get such amazing photos where the background is fully black. I of course have thought about simply editing...

I see this a lot on the Spec Zoo threads and AZA pages, so I thought I'd ask what something means. I see stuff like 1.1 Nile Crocodiles (just a theoretical) and I'm wondering what the numbers mean?

hello! does anyone have any information on the “blue” (it was more like smokey) tiger cub born at the oklahoma zoo in 1964? i’ve been able to find one image of the cub specimen, but it was without a source and i couldn’t find it anywhere else. if you hadn’t heard of this before, it’s often cited...

Hi guys! So was wondering if anyone knows why the bottom level is closed at omaha zoo, I did get to go on my trip and sure enough the bottom level was closed it said due to construction. But other then that sign I haven't been able to find any news on that online, I check their offical fb page...

Hi, I’ve never been but have seen the Dallas World Aquarium on videos etc. I’ve always wondered how much a contained aquarium/zoo like that cost, so was just wondering if anyone knew or had seen it anywhere as I couldn’t? Or if anyone knows or anything comparable?

Hi, what do the decimal in the number of species mean? Like example an would be of 1.1 Jaguars

Hi there, I'm currently busy with a project to improve burgers zoo in the Netherlands. (Though I'm not associated). I was wondering about some animals in shared species enclosures,and weather they're possible or not, I'm just going to post a list of animals that I was curious about Australian...

I see a lot of people complaining about species. They see to often in zoos *coughs meerkats. But here is a diffrent question. What species of animals, would like too see more often. For me it would definativly be Muskox and Slothbears. Both are quite rare animals in captivity.

Hello, I am currently in the beginning stages of making an episode of a YouTube series about zoos across the country, namely this one. I was wondering if anyone who visits the zoo before 2010 would like to be interviewed because I have some question about what the zoo was like mainly in the ‘90s...

Are there any zoos which have areas themed around Europe? This is tricky, since most of the fauna is very similar to or literally the same species of those of North America, but I think focusing on specific regions could work. I myself have imagined exhibits themed around the chalk downs of...

Does anyone know which zoos keep which antelope and gazelle species in North America and, if possible, their numbers?

Has anyone been to this small zoo in Chatham-Kent, Ontario or if any other zoo has received animals from it? From the videos I've seen of it on Youtube, it seems to be a fairly decent if small zoo.

Hey y'all I know this sounds like a really dumb question and perhaps others have already asked this, but what does it mean when a zoo claims to be a walk-through zoo??? Because I was looking up North Carolina Zoo and they claim to be the largest walk-through zoo??? Like what is the difference...

Okay so I am writing down all the mammals omaha zoo has currently. I been on their website a million times and there is not a animal page, yes there is a exhibit page but the exhibit doesn't list most just gives a generalization of the species that are at the zoo. So I decide to write down the...

Hi there, As I am doing some research on zoos in our small country, I was wondering if theres regions in our country that are lacking zoos. This could include public aquaria. When typing "Zoos in the Netherlands" on Google it only shows the bigger zoos, so maybe the users of ZooChat would...

I have a simple question: wjhich zoological institutions in North America and Europe keep hutias?
