Pueblo Zoo - Species List (May 2025)
The Pueblo Zoo, located in Pueblo City Park in southern Colorado, first opened in 1933 and is currently owned and operated by the Pueblo Zoological Society in partnership with the City of Pueblo. I’ve put together a comprehensive species list for the collection, noting subspecies where appropriate to provide more taxonomic detail. Except for the invertebrates, Hilaire’s side-necked turtle, Geoffroy's side-necked turtle, and red-footed tortoise, I have followed the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species for all common and scientific names. For clarity, I have divided the collection based on the Zoo's major exhibitions. All mixed-species exhibits are grouped together as well.
