This is a list of species on-show at Walkabout Creek Discovery Centre as of 31/12/22. Bummed that I missed the Wildlife Discovery Show meaning I didn't get to see Beatlejuice the Striped Possum, who would've been a new species. Also due to me arriving on opening it seemed that the main nocturnal...

This species list represents Sydney Zoo’s collection as of 17th December 2022 and adds onto this species list [Sydney Zoo Species List 2021 [Sydney Zoo]] by @akasha to continually document what is still a relatively new facility in its early years. The full review will be posted in my thread...

Today I went to the Blue Hills Trailside Museum in Milton, Massachusetts. The museum is essentially a small nature center with indoor and outdoor animal exhibits, located on the 7000-acre Blue Hills reservation. The museum’s collection is made almost entirely of rescued native wildlife, but they...
Hello ZooChat:
I just noticed that @Coelacanth18 did a species list back in April of this year. I wanted to give my list of species seen during my visit as part of my birthday week trip.
This was my first time visiting and I primarily came to see their bird collection but I also wanted to see...
Hello ZooChat:
Continuing on my birthday week zoo visits, I finally got around to visiting the Santa Barbara Zoo. Honestly, I went there with the lowest expectations and not having the highest hopes for this zoo. Turns out, for a zoo that's comparable to the size of Sacramento Zoo, I was...
Hello ZooChat:
As part of my birthday week celebration, I figured it was time for me to revisit the Monterey Bay Aquarium. While I primarily record birds kept in aquariums and zoos, I did manage to take pictures and notate the species the aquarium holds.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: I am not a follower...
I visited ZooMontana on “Black Friday.” The good news is that gave me something to do while waiting for the zoo to open as the local Cabela’s Store had opened at 0700 hours. I spent a an hour or so cataloguing the natural history displays in the store. I’m running a separate spreadsheet for...
Tallahassee Museum has a nice collection of wild animals native to Florida, as well as a few domestic animals on a replica farm. Here is a list of the animals I observed while visiting the museum. A review will follow on another thread.
Mammals (99% sure…although unsigned, I believe the...

Hello ZooChat:
I went to Zoo Tampa for the first time earlier this month for an avicultural conference. While I was there, I was also treated to go on a behind-the-scenes tour. Because of the mismanagement between the conference holders and the zoo staff, I wasn't able to do the...
Oatland Island State Wildlife was the first of two native Wildlife Zoos I visited on the coast of Georgia and South Carolina. There is a third facility at Brookgreen Gardens that I was unable to visit.
I was at Oatland Island about an hour before it opened and a good sized line cars had...
I visited Charles Town Landing State Historic Park, in Charleston, South Carolina, after visiting Oatland Island State Wildlife Center a couple hours down the coast in Georgia. The two sites have similar collections. I enjoyed Oatland Island more, but Charles Towne Landing came onto radar...
I wasn't expecting much here. It was a cold day, around 32 degrees, and the bird flu meant that almost all birds were off exhibit. In same ways this did hamper my experience - nearly all of the African species were off display. But at least the zoo was nearly empty. Some of the animals were...
