Oklahoma City Zoo List of Species On Exhibit 5/20/18

geomorph · 22 Jun 2018

This is an attempt to list every species on exhibit at the Oklahoma City Zoo in Oklahoma during my visit on 5-20-18. I am including species for which there is a sign on each exhibit, and using the named zones on the map (some features are not in any named zone so those will be called by my own names for them) going in a roughly clockwise direction from the zoo entrance. This list may be of more interest to those already familiar with the zoo since I am not arranging the species by animal type. I will post each zone separately for clarity.
