species

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 have been asked and there is another forum that discussed number of species at United States zoos. I find this a very challenging question. The first question is, what's included? Any zoo, for example Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium which is often listed as having the most species...

This will be an addition to various spec zoo help threads. This will be for questions regarding the specific species, not the roster or design questions. Some things might include population/presence in a region (for zoos), sustainability, in-situ and ex-situ questions, feasibility, etc. I'll...

Throughout the past one hundred and ten years, the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens have seen countless species come and go; and as is the case with similar threads. I want to look back on those species that are no longer present in the zoo’s collection. Based on what you’ll see below, the...

While I've seen these sorts of threads for many other animal taxa, I'm surprised I haven't seen a thread for discussing what primates people have seen. Here is my list of primate taxa seen, and I'd be curious to see your lists too. Currently, there are sixteen recognized families of primates...

Let's start the new Tierpark year with a look back at some of last year's highlights: I hope they'll publish an official outlook on 2024 shortly, but for now that's what I am looking forward to: 1) The Asia enclosure likely will open this Spring (Asian Small-Clawed Otters, Babirusas, Black...

Anyone know this fish species ID? This was at greensboro science center, there was no signs indicating what this species is.

It should come as no surprise to anyone that many common zoo animals have multiple common names. It seems, however, that these multi-name species fall into different categories: 1. Species that zoos seem to use the names interchangeably. For instance, some zoos may sign a "puma", while others...

Hello everyone! As I mentioned on the main WHSA thread, I visited the aquarium two days ago, and thought I would post a species list. The list is organized into 3 sections: “Outdoor Exhibits,” “Main Floor Exhibits,” and “Behind the Scenes”. The tanks are ordered from first seen to last seen, if...

Doesn't look like anybody has done a species list for my local zoo, so after a visit this afternoon, I have compiled a comprehensive list of species on display at the San Antonio Zoo as of December 14th, 2021. It was a very productive day, with very few no shows, and a number of new species on...

Many people wonder what is actually the best enclosure for a particular species, this got me thinking: What are the best CLOSED enclosures for a species. Just like the thread Best exhibit for this Species, I name a species after which we can discuss which closed enclosure was the best for a...

Hello, I had the idea to start a zoo life list, which basically is a tick list of all the species that I come across when I visit zoos. Does anyone has done something similar? If so how do you do it? Is there any phone app that helps with the process? Thanks

Hello everyone, I'm creating a zoo animal database with all the species from (hopefully) all North American zoos. I have access to a few public species lists but if anyone has any private species lists that they wouldn't mind sharing, please send them to me! Thanks!
