I do, but don't have time to go through them currently. Things have been very busy at the start of the school year with COVID. I'll post when I find the time.
I payed a visit to this little-known zoo about two weeks ago, and had a surprising good time. They have a superb collection, especially with Ungulates & Waterfowl, with many rarities including West Caucasian Tur, Alpine Ibex, White-Lipped Deer, Great Indian Hornbill, & Common Eider (Among Others). Although there are still quite a few noticeable flaws, especially with some of the smaller aviaries (if you could call them that).
In other news, about three months ago, the zoo sent a Domestic Yak, two Canadian Lynxes, & a couple of African-Crested Porcupines to the Roosevelt Park Zoo in Minot, ND on a temporary loan

Another new species transferred from La, this time 2.0 surplus Rock Hyrax. I wonder were they will be exhibited?
