I sent a message to @MennoPebesma asking if he could help with Aquazoo, and he responded within 15 minutes with a full species list and a layout to the insoide house! He's a freaking hero!

Wow, i'm a hero!

Glad I could help!

 

[Mr Gharial]

My man, you had a full layout and perfect species list aimed and ready to fire basically as soon as I asked!

Certainly a hero to me!

Aquazoo Leeuwarden - Insoide house

You know what I hate? The fact that you can't edit posts on ZC after an hour. Because sometimes you notice mistakes that you just have to fix because of your autism even though nobody in their right mind would ever notice it...

Aquazoo - Insoide house (again, because I forgot to add some of the numbers)

Edit: I almost just did it AGAIN. Glad I double-checked...

Artis - Forest house

Artis - Pelican pond

Artis will be going at a bit of a slower pace (especially in comparison to Beekse Bergen and aquazoo), as it is a city zoo with a lot of animal houses. I'll also be uploading as I make them, instead of making them all and then uploading them all in one go

Artis - Pampas enclosure

Diergaarde Blijdorp (Rotterdam zoo)

Starting with the Victoria hall, this one doesn't include maps because of the larger amount of birds

Are the blijdorp guides still accurate? Im visiting for the first time soon and don't want to miss any species and these guides would be very handy

Absolutely not!

But I made an update here:

Blijdorp (version 2) - Bass rock

Artis - Bird house


Note that the Kea only has an outside aviary, the rest can all be seen inside and outside

 

[Mr Gharial]

Artis - Small mammal house

Adding in the layout separately, since there was no room for it on the guide itself

The collection in Artis' bird house has been decreased immensly since I was there last. is that really all there's left in the tropical section?

Sumatran laughingthrushes were added to the tropical section the day after I posted it. I'm planning on doing a "corrections" post where I fix some mistakes or updates (like the Vicuna missing from the pampas map)

It is, most of the birds in the tropical section have been moved to the Metzelaarskas/Tropical greenhouse.

Artis - Small mammal house

Wow, number of species is in steep decline...

Indeed and for some species only 1 individual is kept at the moment.

The director has made very clear that Artis will be working towards less animals, so they have more room. Whether you think that's desirable or not, I certainly think it's wise in a practical sense, looking at the state of (local) politics and zoo-scepticism.
