Good job at making the list Quartz!

-There is only one tawny Frogmouth left, the zoo put down Tony in Janruary. Who is left?

Last I heard (which was a while ago) there were four at the zoo. I'm not sure which might have left.

was he euthanized in 2009 or 2008? Only reason i know any the animal's names is because last year when I was in zoocamp I borrowed my camp counsilor's 2008 animal names booklet and made a copy, so my info probably off. But only two were in there, and that was the two I said.

Oh :( R.I.P Tom

I'm pretty sure it's Jambocca. That's what I've been told all my life. Unless my hearing isn't too good :) I'll ask when I go to camp.

You're welcome.
 
Well Tapir26 if you go to you zoo camp again this year could you borrow the book of animal names and make a copy and add what you can to this list? If it isn't to much to ask but I would love to have a complete list!
 
Well you might as well update everything! Hopefully they have the Tundra Trek animal names. Is it a complete list of all animals at the zoo including reptiles or just the major species?
 
Almost all animals. But some animals aren't named. Like the musk ox isn't named. Yes, reptiles and some bird species are in there. Reindeer and arctic wolves should for sure be in there. But since the area's opening later in the summer, some animals MIGHT not be in there, like the polar bears.
 
When is your zoo camp anyways? I would think they would have the arctic foxes in because they came to the zoo a while ago. Hopefully snowy owls too, but we will see!
 
Neato! Sounds like fun you'll have a great time! When you get the booklet add all the species I missed to please. I figured I would skip the ones that I didn't know had names.
If you could add those that would be great!
 
Here is what I came up with for the Kids Zoo.
