Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate it. When I searched for Midland Zoo and clicked on it, the map in particular, it showed that it was in Michigan and not Texas, Midland Zoo was in Midland, Midland County, Texas.

Can you add Special Memories Zoo (closed 2020)?
It has been added.
Another zoo I want to see added to the database is Phoenix (Tropic Gardens Zoo - geschlossen 1980) which was located in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona. Here is an article referencing this facility: Phoenix history: A forerunner to the Phoenix Zoo
It has been added.
From Turkey we don’t have:
Aslan Park and ViaSea (both from Tuzla, Istanbul)
Polonezköy Zoo and Istanbul Kuş Cenneti/Bird Paradise (both from Beykoz Istanbul)
Konya Municipal Karatay Zoo (Karatay, Konya)
Aslan Park and ViaSea (both from Tuzla, Istanbul)
Polonezköy Zoo and Istanbul Kuş Cenneti/Bird Paradise (both from Beykoz Istanbul)
Konya Municipal Karatay Zoo (Karatay, Konya)
They have been added.
Appreciate it but I might have to bring up a correction about Karatay. It is in Konya province so it might be better to list it as Konya (Zoo) or Konya (Hayvanat bahçesi)
Can we also add the following collections?
Buena Park (California Alligator Farm - geschlossen 1984)
Avalon (Catalina Island Bird Park - geschlossen 1966)
Van Nuys (Busch Gardens - geschlossen 1979)

How do you update species lists for zoos?
You create an account, then you wait until you are upgraded and then you click on a (sub)species and add at the bottom the zoo. When the zoo is added to the species, you then have to put in a source (f.e. visit 06/2024).
I can't change this because I do not have an account on the site;
But the Lubee Bat Conservancy in Gainesville, Florida has never held Malayan tapir (as I checked the USDA Reports from around this time and the inspectors never mentioned tapir, just bats and their Virginia opossum, which recently passed away).

You can make an account. Given how much you news you manage to find, your efforts to help update ZTL would be appreciated.
The source right now shows "2022 AZA Regional Studbook Malayan (Asian) Tapir (Tapirus indicus)", so we first have to find out what source is incorrect before deleting it.
Whoever added it likely meant to place Lubee as a former holder. I just looked at the 2023 studbook, which lists that Lubee Bat Conservancy held a single female tapir from 1989-1993. A really odd thing to find at a bat specialist collection, but that's besides the point.
Keep in mind that USDA inspection reports online are only accurate for determining what a facility currently holds- and the reports available online only cover the past decade or so. As such, they won't be a good indication of what has been historically held at institutions which have histories dating back to well before 2010.
And they have multiple misidentifications of species.
