Tulsa Zoo List of Species On Exhibit 5/30/18

[geomorph]

This is an attempt to list every species on exhibit at the Tulsa Zoo in Tulsa, Oklahoma during my visit on 5-30-18. I am including species for which there is a sign on each exhibit, and using the named zones on the map 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.

CHIMPANZEE CONNECTION: (1 Exhibit)
This single exhibit is the closest to the zoo's entrance.

Large-sized water-moated yard with indoor bedroom viewing building:

The Conservation center seems to have an amazing species lineup. Especially the turtle species and Maleo. The building though does seem to be slightly outdated.

The building is very outdated...I did not take composed shots of the exhibits since I knew I would not keep them! That is why I only uploaded photos of Sea Lion Cove and African Penguin Exhibit.

With regards to comments over the Conservation Center state:
What is next on the list for redevelopment at Tulsa Zoo?

There is a post in last year's news thread of Tulsa Zoo, posted by keith8404, that states:

"According to an interview with Tulsa Zoo CEO Terri Correll published last week on Zoophoria.net, that old cat grotto area will be the next area to undergo re-building. The grottos will be removed and completely new habitats built for the existing African lions, painted dogs, and meerkats, along with some new areas for species not currently in the zoo's collection, including Grevy's zebra and pygmy hippos. It will all be laid out to tie in better with the existing giraffe yard and recently completed white rhino/nyala/springbok/cranes("Rhino Reserve") habitat to create an "Africa Wilds Experience."
