First species list for this zoo ever posted here! Originally I was going to upload a bunch of media and do a review for this zoo as well when I posted a species list - I'm still going to do those things, but because of the delay I decided to just get this out of the way first.
Each line is a separate enclosure unless described otherwise. Unseen are marked in italics (most of the time - for some of the bigger mixed-species exhibits I don't have that info), unsigned are preceded by (unsigned) at the end of the line. Asterisks indicated a repeat species mentioned earlier in the list.
