species list

I managed to make one last trip for the year to arguably one of the best Aquariums in the country. Despite it being smaller than a lot of other Aquariums in the country, OCA punches much above of it's weight in terms of species on exhibit and the design of the exhibits. One of the best Seabird...

I've finally gotten around to compiling a species list for the Florida Aquarium in downtown Tampa, from my visit in June of this year. As is the nature of Aquariums, a lot moves around from time to time, and many species switch on or off show. Many are also not signed, but I did my best for...

Once again I have made a species list for Weltvogelpark Walsrode, just like I did last year. While creating a list like this is already a challenge, it becomes even more frustrating because Walsrode often moves their birds around the park. This meant every visit was a bit stressful, since I had...

The new wave of species is continuing into the end of the year, it seems as since my last species from August, there have been even more new birds (not surprising), a new pack of Wolves (very surprising, I thought this would be a 2026 thing), and some other new animals. I'm looking forward to...

Lot's of new species have been added to both of the Aquariums throughout the last few weeks, and considering my last list was from August, I felt like it's time for an updated list. Species in Green are those that are on exhibit, but not signed Species in Red are those that are signed, but not...

It's been a while since I've last done a species list so I thought it would be time for an update, especially since there are some pretty special species on exhibit at the moment in the Piers. I'm not aware of any new species for the OP that are ready for exhibit yet, so this list should be...

On October 8, Mote Science Education Aquarium (or Mote SEA) opened its doors to the public. Just a week later, I had the chance to visit the new facility, and I have to say, I'm impressed. The aquarium is pretty unique: there's a strong emphasis on display and basic information, but there's also...

Hello, everybody, and happy World Animal Day! I visited BioParque do Rio today. The original plan was to visit the zoo this Sunday, but a series of events made me decide that it would be better to go on Saturday instead. The main reason was the opening that day of a new exhibit: Reino dos...

This past weekend, while en route to the Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens, I made the last-minute decision to visit an obscure facility that’s been on my mind ever since it first opened last year (more on that below). Now, after yesterday’s visit (19/09); I can confirm that while the...

The time has come. I am finally making a species list for my absolute favorite Aquarium. The Monterey Bay Aquarium needs no introduction, consistently being ranked as a Top 3 Aquarium in the Country with the likes of Georgia and Shedd (though I haven't visited the other 2 yet). Boasting...

What I believe is the greatest Zoological facility in the city (compared to the Aquarium of the Bay and San Francisco Zoo), and one of the greatest in the state, the California Academy of Sciences has one of the richest histories among any Zoological facility in the world, and something they can...

Since being brought on in December last year as the new Senior Director of Animal Care, it appears that Dr. Luis Neves' influence has taken full effect on the Zoo, as just these last 2 months have seen without a doubt the greatest influx of new species the Zoo has seen IN YEARS (and I'm not...
