Note: The education building is not open on weekends so I was not able to see what small animals they have on exhibit in there. If any one has a species list for it, feel free to add it here. From a recent social media post, I do know they have a Black Footed Ferret exhibit in there.

On the zoo's website it states "over 50 beautifully landscaped acres home to hundreds of species". Interesting...because below it seems as if there's a grand total of 49 species plus a few off-show birds. It's a bit of a shock to see just how few species are at this AZA-accredited zoo, based on the list provided by @MGolka

And there's almost zero reptiles, amphibians, insects and fish.
