KJ did you mean the animal inventory? It's usually published on the ZSL website, though it will be a few weeks yet I expect.

It always amuses me how the press faithfully take up the story EVeRY new year about the 'annual stocktake' at the Zoo. There's often an accompanying picture of a puzzled-looking keeper trying to count leaf cutter ants or with a toucan perched on his notebook or somesuch...

Local TV stations sometimes also cover the same story at our regional zoos as well. It seems to amuse them.

Not yet. I'm very interested to know though I wonder if they will make it public.

If the annual report is put onto the ZSL website then yes they will publish a list. I expect they will do so.
