Zoos on Twitter

[Simon Hampel]

I am in the process of adding listings of zoos which use services like Twitter.

To start with I am just adding Twitter IDs into the database for zoos we track. I have a page listing those I found from a quick search of my Twitter account - Zoos on Twitter » ZooChat

If you know of any zoos which aren't listed on that page who have an official Twitter account, please post in this thread with a link to the Twitter profile of the zoo so I can add them to the database.

(PS. I will also be doing similar things with Facebook and MySpace pages, but that will come later).

At the moment I'm only looking for zoos which are on Twitter. I'll possibly add a list of other zoo related Twitter feeds later once I've got this up and running fully.

The Toronto Zoo has a Shark twitter account... I guess it is promoting the Stingray bay Exhibit.

Do they have a normal Twitter account as well? What username do they use for the Shark twitter?

Sim,
Have a look on my Twitter account. You may find a few that you are missing.
