I visited the zoo on January 2nd, 2022, unfortunately, the weather was not the most conducive to most of the species (the high was only 45F/8C) so many species were off-exhibit, if they were specified off-exhibit they are marked in bold, species that were on-exhibit, but I personally did not see them are in italics

No problem! I know someone will always find a list like this interesting, I know i do haha. In my opinion there are only two bad enclosures and they are still decent, the Rhinoceros hornbill (which I forgot sorry, they are kept inside the Asian aviary in a separate enclosure) are in a tall but bare aviary with only 3 or 4 branches and a concrete floor, and the Amur leopard, it's a little on the small side, and they also aren't exactly the best subspecies for the environment :p
