species list

Day two of my Dallas trip involved me taking a visit to the city's most famous and well-renowned zoological facility (amongst other ZooChatters at least), the Dallas World Aquarium. Located in the heart of downtown Dallas, this facility isn't very well named- unlike most aquariums, it places...

For spring break, I am currently in Dallas, TX where I will be spending the next four days visiting three zoological establishments: the Dallas Zoo, the Fort Worth Zoo, and the Dallas World Aquarium. I just finished day one of the trip and the Dallas Zoo was my first stop. I did my proper...

After close to 3 years of waiting and checking near-daily for updates, I'm excited to finally post a review, walk-through, and species list for Reptilandia Reptile Lagoon! All information is based on my visit on March 6th, 2024. Reptilandia Reptile Lagoon is a brand new zoo located in Johnson...

Hi all, It's been a while since I made a new species list, but this facility is infrequently visited, and deserving of one. This facility has a lot of large exhibits with so-so signage. Electronically rotating signs are nobody's favorite, and I saw a number of species not listed on signs as...

The building that was formerly the Bat Zone is getting redesigned into a public lab for programs. I went in there for the bug feeding - you can't get in unless you paid for an event. The large amount of fossils - including real mammoth hair! - seem finalized. This is the room we went into as the...

With the spread of ZTL worldwide, species lists like these may be on the way out. I thought I'd still share a list of what I saw signed at Phoenix Zoo, on Monday, January 8th, 2024. I left out unsigned species (Sand cats, for example). A majority of no-shows (SNS) can probably be attributed to...

Species at the North Carolina Zoo seen during my trip on December 10, 2023. Signed, not seen will be in red Seen, not signed will be in blue North America Cypress Swamp American alligator (Alligator mississipiensis) Alligator snapping turtle (Macrochelys temminckii) Cougar (Puma concolor)...

Introduction 2023 has been a great year for Zoochat and zoo nerds in general. What with the opening of Bird Paradise, a number of high quality new exhibits such as Houston's Galapagos complex and Wilhelma's Terra Australis, as well as a number of great threads posted on this site, it cannot be...

There are a lot of caveats before we can get into this. To start with, I went during Holiday Lights. Almost all of the zoo was open, even if a lot of animals weren't outside or visible. Some animals that I know are there from the website and past visits weren't signed. I will still list them in...

Note that there are many small exhibits in ride queues and restaurants and being that I did not go on every single ride and into every single restaurant, there are likely some species missing from this list. Also, signage was lacking in many areas, so I listed the species I saw along with what...

I last made a species list for Fresno Chaffee Zoo in March 2019 and the lineup/exhibits have seen a good amount of change since then, so I’ve made an updated list as of November 2023. Each line indicates an enclosure. Species that were not seen are in italics, and species that were unsigned are...

Tracy Aviary is a beautiful eight-acre facility tucked away in Liberty Park near downtown Salt Lake City. The site of the Aviary was once home to Salt Lake City's original zoo which was operational from 1908-1931. The Aviary opened on July 2, 1938, when local banker and bird collector Russell...

Utah’s Hogle Zoo - Species List (October 28, 2023) I noticed that Hogle Zoo did not have a complete species list on this site. What follows is a completed list of species held at the facility organized by exhibit. All species were signed and seen from my visit on October 28, 2023. The only...

Doesn’t seem like they have a tag yet. Little Ray’s Nature Center is a reptile zoo in a strip mall. Knowing that going in I was expecting the absolute worst. And. It isn’t bad? Almost all of the terrariums are decently sized for their occupants, the species list is intriguing enough, and they...
