Driving up to Maine in two days. Only going to be able to hit one zoo and want to avoid Boston like the plague. Thinking about stopping at a Zoo in North NJ on way back but it's undecided.

Cool. For north NJ zoos, there's Bergen County and Turtle Back, plus the roadside-looking Space Farms. Visited the first two, and I'd recommend Turtle Back between those two choices, although Bergen is cheaper and is one of only two US zoos with Red Brocket, so if you're a rarity hunter you might be interested in that.

Hello! The Trevor Zoo is one of a small number of zoos I'm fortunate enough to visit multiple times a year, and even before I knew about this site, I enjoyed updating a personal species list every time I went. I last visited in October, and plan on making my own list thread after I go back in a couple months, but I figured before I did that I'd post a brief addendum to this, the most recent Trevor Zoo species list on the site. You did an excellent job!

-The waterfowl lake sign is outdated, all of your not seen birds are, in actuality, no longer there. They also have a single domestic pekin duck.

-There is a dumeril's boa in with the two ball pythons in the tropics house.
-The herpetarium in the tropics house rotates what species are displayed fairly often, last time I went there was a green iguana, ornate box turtle, and yellow-bellied slider.
-The banded archerfish tank has not exhibited banded archerfish for years, I have never been able to identify what fish species is currently in the tank.
-I'm fairly certain that the amazon river fish tank in the tropics house only has cardinal tetra, an emerald catfish, rummy-nose tetra and an unspecified snail. The rest of the species are no longer there.

-I'm fairly certain that the anole in the education center is a green anole, just in its brown phase.
-I haven't seen the yellow tang or sea urchins in the coral reef aquarium in a quite a while, they are most likely no longer there.
-The poison dart frog terrarium has been fixed and looks excellent now!

-The sika deer are no longer there, another inaccurately signed enclosure.
- The map you received is actually outdated by a number of years, as they have had a japanese serow and now the domestic goats in that enclosure since the markhor.
-There is a flock of turkeys in the large enclosure with the sheep.

-There are ferrets and possibly red-bellied sliders that live on site but behind-the-scenes.

That's all! I really love this zoo and think they do a wonderful job taking care of their residents, but the inaccurate signage has been an annoyance for as long as I've been going. Thank you for visiting and making a list!

A couple quick corrections; I meant to say red-eared slider not red-bellied slider. Additionally, I meant to say 'in quite a while', rather than 'in a quite a while'.

Thank you for the information. Very strange that they give out a map that must be over a decade old.

1. You're right, the species I saw isn't an archerfish, its actually a Freshwater Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare). I never updated the list to reflect that.

2. I'm by no means close to an expert at herp identifications, but the "diamondback" pattern on the individual I saw is very much like those found on the Brown Anole. Green Anoles don't have such pattern as far as I'm aware (but again, not an expert).

Uploaded a picture if anyone wants to make an identification.

Thank you so much for the ID on the fish! That actually makes a lot of sense, there used to be some small freshwater angelfish in the Amazon river fish tank, so they must have grown too big for their tank and then been moved to their current location. I can't believe I never thought of that! Also, I've never seen the anole as clearly as this picture portrays them, and I can almost 100% say that that's a brown anole, not a green one, yet another case of inaccurate signage. Also, when I put red-eared sliders, I meant eastern painted turtles, I don't know why I had so much trouble typing that.
