Technically not "new" since I uploaded it last year, but this appears to be the only picture of a Giant Wrymouth (Cryptacanthodes giganteus) that is still on the site.
Unfortunately a little while after this pic, she passed away from a bacterial infection. To our knowledge at the Aquarium, she was the only one in a US Institution. The Vancouver Aquarium is the only Aquarium I know at the moment who still has one.

Surprisingly the first picture of a Sharpnose Crab (Scyra acutifrons) for the gallery. They're not displayed often but we've currently got this one on display
Wow, dragonflies in captivity! No wonder this place never stood out too much on ZTL but still seems well worth a visit.Here's a whopping 16 new species for the gallery, all from Adachi Park of Living Things in Tokyo, back in 11/2022!

A strikingly beautiful bird from Shanghai Zoo~
A potential new species for the gallery. The species was a recent split from T. popeiorum earlier this year, ranging from Yunnan, China to Laos and Thailand (Idiiatullina et al., 2024). It is worth mentioning that existing "Pope's tree viper" photos in the gallery might represent this species.
It seems Enoshima has been underrated on this site in comparison to the other Japanese aquaria, even for Japan it seems like quite the collection.The last 9 of 29 additions from Enoshima Aquarium in November 2022!

Apologies for the less than stellar photos of the animals in question (I was kinda just trying to do my best with a mere phone camera), but I believe these are the first photos of the Sonoyta pupfish and Sonoyta mud turtle in the gallery.

What appears to be the first picture of a Striped Sun Star (Solaster stimpsoni) on the site. We just put this guy out on exhibit, they're pretty uncommon in aquariums but definitely the prettiest of the Sea Stars we have in our waters

Starting today, hopefully I can contribute much in this thread and the diversity of species of ZooChat! Though I do like to ask, does subspecies count here as well?
All those stunning Indonesian cage birds are both really cool and really depressing haha
