How I forgot to include Kansas City Zoo is beyond me

I was at the Kansas City zoo many decades ago and was very disappointed. They've done wonders with it and it's now first-class.

Anyways, in 2021 I visited two new places:

There’s also some shopping mall menagerie+aquarium I visited but idk if that would count.

Any interesting mammals at either of those places??

Any interesting mammals at either of those places??

The most interesting animal at Adirondack was in my opinion the Eurasian Lynx, as most of the other animals were native to the region (they didnt have a Canada Lynx which I have yet to see believe it or not). There were also Black Bears, Red Fox, Timber Wolves, Coyotes, Bobcats and NA Porcupines when I went this past summer. I was able to get quite close to the bears, two beautiful sisters that were raised by one of the volunteers there.
Arnolds didn't have anything too rare. A few cats, Fishing, Caracal and Serval. A few lemurs that you can feed including Ringtail, Black and White Ruffed and a relatively less comon Brown Lemur. There was a Muntjac as well, not sure the species though. And a few other common animals like Fennec Fox, American Otters, Common Marmoset, Capuchins etc.
