Hey there!

I have always had an intense interest in wildlife from a young age, leading zoos to be one of my favorite places for their conservation and wildlife.
I have been fortunate enough to have been on road trips across the US has helped me visit many amazing zoos. Unfortunately my city is one of the few in the state that does not have a zoo, so road trips were a necessity.
So far, I have been to:
Brookfield zoo, Lincoln park zoo, Saint Louis zoo, Denver zoo, San diego zoo, San diego zoo safari park, Indianapolis zoo, Knoxville zoo, Tampa's Lowry park zoo
Cosley zoo, Phillips park zoo, Scovill zoo, Aikman's wildlife adventure, RainForest discovery adventure zoo, Alligator and wildlife discovery center, as well as Naples zoo (as an infant)
Shedd Aquarium, Ripley's aquarium of Canada, Downtown aquarium Denver, sea world San Diego, Georgia aquarium, and the Florida aquarium
Some of the animals that I would like to see the most are (that are in zoos)
Any Kiwi or Pangolin species, Platypuses, Little blue penguins, Cuscus, Bilbies, Quolls, African manatees, Dugong, Honey badgers, giant wetas, a Fiordland penguin, a javan or sumatran rhinoceros, and a giant otter. This list is obviously by no means exhaustive.

To put it shortly, I am a huge 'nerd' for zoos, animals, and wildlife, and am glad to start interacting with what seems like a great community!
Good luck with your search for wildlife, ChunkyMunky Pengopus(penguin)(pangolin)(platypus)
 
Welcome to Zoochat! There are some very nice zoo in your list, and I hope you can see most of your bucket list (I say most because the rhino is not in zoos anymore)

Thank you! and yeah, Cincinatti does not have them anymore, and the future of the rhinos looks bleak. I hope there are more efforts to save them in the wild.
 
Welcome to Zoochat! Hope you see the animals you are missing!:)
Thank you! Yes I hope to see the animals I am missing. I believe these are some of the more difficult animals to see, but if I visit other countries like Australia and Japan it may be easier.
