Based on the 2022 list provided by @birdsandbats there are 47 species at the zoo, not including a handful of domestics. Racine's website states that the facility "cares for approximately 75 different species", but yet again that's a typical exaggeration unless there's a large group of animals behind the scenes.

I remember this AZA-accredited zoo being one that could easily be toured in an hour and a half. There's simply not a lot there to see, besides possibly the worst Orangutan exhibit I've ever seen.
