Only just remembered this thread. I saw eight new species for my list a month or so ago at the Amazona Zoo in Cromer:

62. Common marmoset
63. Mara
64. Canadian otter
65. Ocelot
66. Puma
67. Jaguar
68. Scarlet ibis

I've been to so few UK collections - relatively speaking - this year that I haven't gotten around to updating my total since March and have completely lost track of what I have seen and where subsequently :P
 
It's almost the end of the year and I figured that as I spent some time an UK zoo over the summer, I'd do a quick tally for fun of what my total would be with just one place on the list.

I'd pretty much given up on this as I didn't see that I was going to get any more of the random ones I don't already have before the end of the year. However, a trip to Dudley with friends this afternoon yielded a result I didn't think I would be getting:

Dudley Zoo
149 Asiatic black bear

First damn time I've ever seen her in all the visits I've had there, and I was just busily telling my friends we wouldn't see her today as she'd be all tucked up warm and asleep inside... and there she was, curled up right under us next to the wall!!
