I've seen all 15 crane species at ICF, plus all of the Zonotrichia in the wild.
Is there any type of animal where you have seen every species?
- Thread starter elefante
- Start date
I've seen both species of pacas and both species of rockfowls
I've seen both crowned crane species as well.Hello.
All Panthera;
All three "gatos-do-mato" (Geoffroy's cat, oncilla, southern tigrina);
Both crowned cranes;
Both hyacinth and Lear's macaws;
Both species of hippo;
Both Pavo peafowls;
Silky anteater!
I'm close with giraffes, but I have yet to see a reticulate. I am not very far from seeing every species of robust capuchin either, but I'll have to find a way to see Azara's, black-striped and red. I'm currently at three species of lion tamarin, three of Callithrix marmoset and one of woolly spider monkey.
Should this post be restricted to seeing all species of a family or a higher level of classification?
I've seen both species of acouchis, but I thought that would be outside the remit of this post

Cranes, bears, tapirs, hyenas, horse antelope, most of the waterfowl groups (all of the swans, all of the whistling ducks, all of the eiders, all of the geese, all of the pygmy geese, etc). Depending on how conservative you are with taxonomy, all of the crocodiles, cryptobranchids, etc

Both rockfowl in the wild.
This is open to interpretation. I'm not going to get caught up in details.
Hartmann's Mountain Zebra has eluded me. Racine does hold them so I will likely see them soon but on my October visit they were indoors.
Sorry for the late reply. I forgot to add "depends on who you ask". Zootierliste, as an example, lists only one existing species of silky anteater, although I'm quite sure it's because people have not asked new ones to be added to the database.
It lists silky anteater sensu lato, so that specifically means "in the broad sense". Zootierliste (which follows its own taxonomy) recognizes that there are multiple silky anteater species, but because it is unclear which is kept in captivity, it refers to the "old" name with the addition of sensu lato. Another species group were that happens is the green monkey species complex.
Thank you for clearing this out.
Great pictures, mate! I'm currently at three. Where did you see them?

Thank you! I've seen each of these species in North America:
-Sun bear: Photographed at San Diego Zoo (a Bornean sun bear named Marcella to be specific), saw them years ago at Columbus Zoo when they had them but didn't get a photo
-Asiatic black (moon bear): Photographed at Zoo de Granby in Quebec, Canada; have also seen them at Roger Williams Park Zoo and Cohanzick Zoo
-Sloth bear: Photographed at Philadelphia Zoo; have also seen at Smithsonian, San Diego Zoo and Capron Park Zoo before theirs moved to Smithsonian
-Panda: Photographed at Smithsonian, the only place I have seen them
-Andean bear: Photographed at Philadelphia Zoo, see them several times a month at Queens Zoo and have seen them at San Diego and Smithsonian as well
-Polar: Photographed at Buffalo, have seen at Columbus and San Diego, and one at Seaworld Orlando before he passed away and their program ended
-Grizzly/brown: Photographed at Bronx Zoo, have seen at Central Park, Maryland Zoo and probably several others
-American black: Photographed a cinnamon variant at Trailside Museums and Zoo in NY, have seen at Stone Zoo and several others that I can't recall off the top of my head.
Hope this helps!
It sure does! However, I live in a continent that pretty much lacks bear species. As an example, I would have to visit another country just to see a sun bear.
For me: Bears, genus Panthera, elephants, tapirs (if T. kabomani isn't a species), peccaries, oryxes (species level), pelicans, swans, genus Branta, puffins, alligators, gavialids, amphiumas, gars. Cranes I still need brolga, and sea turtles I'm only missing flatback.

All 5 loons and all 4 silky-flycatchers are both really cool. I just realized the other day that I only have one silky-flycatcher left to complete that family, guess I'll have to go to Mexico and see it at some point.
