El Paso Zoo mourns death of beloved Asian elephant Savannah Savannah, an Asian elephant at the El Paso Zoo has died.
Very sad, she was the oldest living captive elephant in the WORLD!
Sad news to learn. As a lot of have mentioned, an elephant reaching 71 isn't something we see happening often. She did really well. A lot of...
It's crazy to think that I began this thread in January and already more zoos have gone out of elephants (or announced a decision). Just in 2024,...
By my count, I've come across Lesser Spot-nosed Monkeys at 9 zoos and Greater Spot-nosed Monkeys at only 1 zoo. It's tricky figuring out which...
There's been a number of comments about Sulawesi Crested Macaques and it's interesting that I've only seen the species at 13 zoos, behind...
Mandrills are large, impressive looking primates, especially the big males when they bare their teeth. Yet, I've found that there aren't many...
Diana Monkeys are yet another example of an eye-catching primate, with the contrast between black-and-white (and a splash of orange!) being...
Are there any favorite or least favorite elephant exhibits you've seen, or particularly memorable experiences with elephants?
I’ve visited 551 different zoos and aquariums and I was curious to note how many zoos I’d been to with elephants. That question, which was posed...

Another day, another two Old World primate species! Both of them are hardly found in any zoos across the entire globe. One of the most...
I'm going to be looking at macaques in the next few postings and I was convinced that Japanese Macaques would be the species I'd viewed the most...
I've visited 62 zoos with Siamangs. Some of these zoos are ones I’ve visited on many occasions, but I’ve listed them only once and that...
Golden Lion Tamarins have become the 'poster species' for conservation at many zoos, having been saved from extinction and now thriving in...
Colobus Monkeys are another common primate, although it's interesting that at least 90% or more of all the zoos I've seen them at have been...
This is a species that I see all the time (it's housed at a few of the zoos I visit most frequently), but which never gets old! Really great small...
I have seen De Brazza's Monkeys in 28 zoos, a respectable total compared to other primates that I've come across. I've mainly seen this species in...
If I thought that I'd seen a lot of zoos with Squirrel Monkeys (78), that number was eclipsed by the volume of zoos where I've seen Spider...
Debrazza's are probably the Old World monkey I've seen most often. Granted, I've seen Guereza in more zoos, however my hometown zoo, Capron Park,...
