What is your most commonly seen...

I've only gone through and tallied mammals. My top 10 zoo mammal species are:

1. Tiger (25 zoos)
1. Ring-tailed Lemur (25 zoos)
3. Red Kangaroo (23 zoos)
3. Gray Wolf (23 zoos)
5. Lion (20 zoos)
5. North American River Otter (20 zoos)
7. Black-tailed Prairie Dog (19 zoos)
7. Generic Giraffe (19 zoos)
9. White-tailed Deer (18 zoos)
9. American Bison (18 zoos)
 
I've only counted up mammals for now, but I can now say my most seen mammal in captivity is...

Koala, at 9 facilities.

Asian Short-clawed Otter and Asian Elephant are tied for second at 4 each.

Tied for third, at 3 each, are Short-beaked Echidna, Tasmanian Devil, Lumholtz' Tree-kangaroo, Eastern Grey Kangaroo (this probably should be more than 3 but I seldom pay attention to this species so I don't specifically remember it at many places), Red Kangaroo, Swamp Wallaby, Guinea Pig, Cotton-top Tamarin, Meerkat and Ringed Seal.

Realised I'd forgotten to count some facilities for some species, which affected my totals - Koala is still first at 9 facilities, but Asian Elephant is actually second (5 facilities), and Asian Short-clawed Otter and Eastern Grey Kangaroo are tied for third (4 facilities each)
