Entirely up to you. I excluded both on the basis that their domestic in origin, from what I understand of their taxonomy, but if I were to include them then they would be two separate species.
Feel like I maybe should have more, but maybe not.

105. Raccoon Dog... Not sure how I forgot about these guys!
(Could've been 106 but the hyaena at Hamerton were a no-show today)
Well, Japan.
Baikal seal-Toba Aquarium
Caspian seal-Kamogawa Sea World
Spotted seal- Numerous (most common seal species in Japan)
Gray seal- Yokohama Sea Paradise
Ringed seal-Kaiyukan
Harbour seal- Ocean Park Hong Kong (I know this isnt Japan
, cant recall a japan one off my head)Bearded seal- Otaru Aquarium
Here is my current Carnivora credits as of my most recent trip (02/13/2024). I have observed 51 species of carivorans across 13 of the 16 carnivora families. I am missing out on Hyenas (Hyaenidae), for which I have just been unlucky and have yet to get to a zoo with them, as well as African Palm-Civets (Nandiniidae) and Linsangs (Prionodontidae). Based on what others have said, it looks like those latter two may be out of reach for me.
Breakdown by Taxonomy. Please note that I am using iNaturalist's taxon scheme. Also, I will list subspecies only if specified by the facility.
Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo once again comes out on top with 19 species observed during my 2017 visit (to the best of my memory), although the lead is far smaller this time around. The North Carolina Zoo comes in 2nd with 17 speceis (of which 12 are still present). Greensboro Science Center ranks 3rd with 12 species, all of which are still present to my knowledge. With Greenville and Riverbanks also high on the list, it seems like the Carolinas are a good place to see carivorans.
Lions (Panthera leo) and Tigers (Panthera tigris), but not bears, tie for 1st place with 7 facilities each. For tigers, the Sunda subspecies (sondaica) appears to be slightly more abundant, with 4 facilities vs. 3 for the mainland subspecies (tigris), although I do not remember what subspecies I saw at Omaha, so that can tip the balance. Only 1 facilitiy signed a specific subspecies for their lions.
2 species of otters tie for 2nd place with 6 facilities each; the Asian Small-clawed Otter (Aonyx cinereus) and the North American River Otter (Lontra canadensis). I for sure thought the latter would be more common. Finally, we have a 3-way tie for 3rd place with the Bobcat (Lynx rufus), California Sea Lion (Zalophus californianus), and the Harbor Seal (Phoca vitulina), with 5 facilities each. It helps that the latter 2 are often exhibited together, with a few exceptions.

Lions (Panthera leo) and Tigers (Panthera tigris), but not bears, tie for 1st place with 7 facilities each. For tigers, the Sunda subspecies (sondaica) appears to be slightly more abundant, with 4 facilities vs. 3 for the mainland subspecies (tigris), although I do not remember what subspecies I saw at Omaha, so that can tip the balance. Only 1 facilitiy signed a specific subspecies for their lions.
2 species of otters tie for 2nd place with 6 facilities each; the Asian Small-clawed Otter (Aonyx cinereus) and the North American River Otter (Lontra canadensis). I for sure thought the latter would be more common. Finally, we have a 3-way tie for 3rd place with the Bobcat (Lynx rufus), California Sea Lion (Zalophus californianus), and the Harbor Seal (Phoca vitulina), with 5 facilities each. It helps that the latter 2 are often exhibited together, with a few exceptions.

Of course, if I am counting domestics, then I should probably also include Felis catus.

All of these were seen in the US, and I've tried my best to denote which zoos I've seen them at in roughly chronological order. Bold indicates a species I've seen outside of a zoo (either in the wild or in captivity), Bold + Underline indicates a species I've seen in the wild
