I visited Prague Zoo today and it was way too much crowded today. I don't like crowds so I hid in the quieter parts of the zoo.

My goal of today's visit was to see Round-eared Elephant Shrew as I can't be sure when this species will disappear from the collection. I succeed and the animal was very active. That made me happy

Back on track, hopefully. Back pain prevented me from sitting at the computer for long periods of time so I couldn't enter data lately. But I've gotten better recently. Anyway, this contest is mainly for fun, so I've decided to continue the contest. We'll see how many ticks I can do before the end of the year.

I visited Pilsen Zoo today and it was lovely visit. The zoo was full of ghosts and other Halloween themed characters. Animals were also interested in the show, so well, I had a great day.

Barring a possible second trip to Hamerton, I think this'll be my last big zoo trip of the year.

--Colchester Zoo (6/11/24)--
In a bid to catch at least one extra animal, I decided to catch the "Sensation Station" talk, since I knew both of the "star" animals (Striped Skunk and Large Hairy Armadillo) were Least Concern and took a chance that at least one of them would be present. As a result...

101. Patagonian Sea Lion (Otaria flavescens)
102. Fennec Fox (Vulpes zerda)

Océanopolis Brest 22/08/24
98. Bearded Seal Erignathus barbatus
99. Grey Seal Halichoerus grypus
100. Harbour Seal Phoca vitulina
101. Ringed Seal Pusa hispida

So, I in fact did manage to pass the 100 mark! Didn’t realise that all four of the seals at Oceanopolis (the largest seal collection in Europe) were Least Concern, hence my upthread scepticism about crossing the mark, but very happy to have been proven wrong. With three of the four being lifeticks and two being kept at just one other European collection each, it is a very satisfying and appropriate way to pass the 100 mark indeed!

A somewhat overdue update from a visit to Exmoor last week.

I have also realised that I ignorantly 'double-counted' the Harbour Seal, listing them under Océanopolis when I had already seen them at Weymouth. Therefore, accounting for that error, I have lowered my total by one. Apologies!

Exmoor Zoo 29/10/24
101. African Civet Civettictis civetta
102. Fennec Fox Vulpes zerda
103. Midas Tamarin Saguinus midas
104. Puma Puma concolor
105. Ringtail Bassariscus astutus

Should be my final update for the year. I know I said that last time, but other than return visits to Whipsnade and London from which there are very few, if any, species that I missed last visit left to 'mop up.'

Truth be told, at the start of this challenge I would have expected to finish at around 60 or 70, and even that was being overly optimisitc given how much I had heard about the mammal collection at Prague, which I knew I would be visiting at the start of the year. Very pleased with 105.
