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...

The Zoo finally opened the last bit of the Tropical Reef Aquarium renovation, being the "Coral Reef Close-up" exhibit which consists of 3 tanks, but this is where the Zoo's live Coral exhibits are. And with that, all of the ongoing renovations at the Zoo should be finished. Though they are still...

Been a minute since I last visited the Zoo and was able to stop by the other day for a walk-around before I head to San Diego at the end of the week. Surprisingly, there have been a lot of mix-ups with the smaller species (most notably, in the Tropical Rainforest, Reptile Realm, and the...

With so many changes happening lately and more to come, I thought now would be the best time to compile the complete species list that covers the entire campus. Previously I had 2 separate threads (1 for the Ocean Pavilion and 1 for Pier 59 and 60), but combining the two will make it easier to...

One last species list to end off the year, recently the facility has seen a couple changes within the last few months and since I've gotten the hang of doing species lists now, I thought I would go back and redo the species list for PDZA with the updated information and all of the scientific...

After $160M, over a decade in planning, and 4 years construction, the long awaited 'Ocean Pavilion' campus extension has finally opened. This building focuses exclusively on the Coral Triangle region of the Indo-Pacific as it aims to educate on how we all share 1 Ocean and the same challenges...

The last species list I could find for PDZA was last updated in 2021. With how many new species and additions have been made really within the past few weeks, I thought I'd give a shot at my first species list. Any critiques are welcome since it is my first, and I'm going to do my best to...

Seattle Aquarium Ocean Pavilion | Seattle Aquarium So if you haven't heard, the Seattle Aquarium is getting a New Building / Expansion as apart of Seattle's plan to restore the Waterfront. This has been in the plans since 2018 and construction started last year with the opening date presumably...

Guess I’ll start this Zoo’s very first thread. In order to maintain its ZAA accreditation, the Zoo is looking to improve its big cat exhibits. But the price tag turned out to be higher than expected, and now the Zoo has to weigh out its options. Zoo's big cats exhibit twice expected cost

I've just moved to DC from India, and was looking into the First Day Hike program at Mason Neck State Park in Virginia for Jan 1st. It started because I don't really have anything planned for NYE or New Year's Day (after being used to usually spending it in my hometown with friends), so I was...

Does anyone have any photos of the former logo of the National Zoological Park in Washington? The logo was by Lance Wyman and it can be viewed by following the link below. It showed a bald eagle feeding a chick. I release that the web-link has photos but I wanted to know if any more were...
