      24 mammal, 19 bird, 12 reptile, 5 amphibian, 12 fish, and 10 invertebrate species
      82 species total in this world class exhibit, which would probably be one of the most comprehensive North American collections, with less of a focus on ABCs but still including Bears, Bison, Jaguars, Prairie dogs, Otters, and Seals

      The zoo totals 37 mammals, 21 bird, 42 reptile, 24 amphibian, 14 fish, and 69 invertebrate, bringing us to 206 total species so far! The ratio is a little wonky, but mostly its because of the types of exhibits we covered so far (Insectarium, reptile houses). This zoo is going to have a high number of species, maybe Omaha level, because there is still the aquarium, tropical terrarium, world of birds, and a number of other species rich exhibits left. Also a LOT more mammals coming with the Small Mammal House ;)
