Doesn't look like anybody has done a species list for my local zoo, so after a visit this afternoon, I have compiled a comprehensive list of species on display at the San Antonio Zoo as of December 14th, 2021. It was a very productive day, with very few no shows, and a number of new species on display that I have not seen here before.
Exhibits/areas will be in bold.
