The Creature Conservancy is a small but wonderful facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I've been here before, but I was an actual kid back then. It's been so long. Being winter, most outdoor exhibits are currently empty, and I feel that inside, things were rearranged for the season as well. Therefore, this is not complete. I'll try to get back when it's warmer.
The few actually outside, signs taken down likely out of belief they'd want to stay in but they didn't mind the cold:
1.0 Arctic Fox
Donkey
Eurasian Eagle-Owl
2 Emus
Inside, entrance halls (including outdoor exhibits visible from inside):
1.1 Aldabra Giant Tortoises/0.1 Sulcata Tortoise
Red-Bellied Piranha
0.1 Mainland Clouded Leopard
3 Common Kusimanse
Australian Zebra Finches
1.0 Red Kangaroo/Patagonian Mara/Reeves' Muntjac
At least 1.1 American Alligator, possibly another based on signage (female is albino)
1.1 African Crested Porcupines
0.1 Cougar
2 White-Necked Ravens
1.0 Reindeer
Some Goldfish in one of the gator ponds
I believe I saw the face of a grumpy Lynx spp. staring at me in the dark when peeking into a room behind the scenes; website shows a picture of a Canada Lynx so maybe that?
Housed in the entrance between the entrance halls and stage room; not visible but very audible and apparently sometimes flown for events:
A large colony of Egyptian Fruit Bats
Stage room:
Many, MANY Linne's Two-Toed Sloths, too many to count! They actually live on the ceiling railing infrastructure! Basically, you look up and there's sloths crawling around above you everywhere.
Red Eared Sliders/Painted Turtles (two separate pools mixing a large amount of both)
Alligator Snapping Turtle/more Goldfish
1.0 Common Warthog
1.0 Green-Winged Macaw
1.0 Blue-Throated Macaw
1.0 Scarlet Macaw
1.0 Blue and Gold Macaw/1.0 Green-Winged Macaw (very loud bonded pair)
At least 1 Black-Throated Monitor
3 Domestic Rats
At least 1 Large Hairy Armadillo
1.1 Reeves' Muntjacs
Ball Python
Giant Cave Cockroaches
Wide-Horned Hissing Cockroaches
Groundhog (off exhibit and hibernating)
The shows, which seem to rotate each month:
1.1 Indigo Snakes
2 Axolotls
1.0 Dingo (the aforementioned and intended Clouded Leopard didn't want to be around a bunch of screaming children so instead this guy used the open door to bolt out and make it about him, if not, given how many things he peed on, make it his)
Aforementioned Blue-Throated Macaw (separate single-species show later)
Didn't see, but signs they were there off-exhibit (eg their website, rest of the web, literal signs outdoors, the fact that the gift shop was actually selling black swan eggs in something I find very surreal, etc):

Black Vultures
0.1 Bald Eagle
Great Horned Owl
