Can anyone help with the amount kept

[adamntitch]

am looking to find out how many

reptiles
mammals
birds
and others
are kept altogether in uk zoos and safari parks

if anyone knows that would be great

Is this number of species, or number of individual animals?

 

[Paulkarli08]

Surely this would differ on a daily basis, both species and animal numbers? So an exact amount could never be given for any collection!

 

[adamntitch]

both if possible please

even a rough idea please

 

[ZooLeopard]

Sorry but this is impossible! Maybe just deal woth the number of species kept for now!

ISIS will be your best bet. Although even that will only give rough estimates, depending upon when collections have updated them about births/deaths/transfers

 

[adamntitch]

I think you would be best to look at their websites,ISIS etc and maybe some might have annual animal inventories in their annual reports which may be available online. You might have to do a bit of research.

You could try contacting BIAZA they may be able to help for collections that are members.
