Although I do believe exhibits should be functional for the animal beyond just being appealing, I feel the new chimpanzee exhibit at Indianapolis...
1. Waterbuck 2. Southern Gerenuk 3. Royal Antelope 4. Giant Eland 5. Saola
Haven't seen this mentioned yet, but there is now an app called "Shedd Go" which gives what looks like a complete species list for on-display...
Fair enough, I guess I am unsure how far removed an animal population can be from the wild and still be able to be conditioned for release. With...
Fair enough, I see your point there. I can think of two other reasons to keep tigers in captivity: education and research. For research, I can...
I’d be really interested to read that article if you could find it. My thought comes from the fact that by treating the Tiger as multiple...
Just something I think about every now and then. Zoos go to great lengths in the AZA (and I believe EAZA?) to keep tigers genetically pure at a...
Willowbrook Wildlife Center and the Forest Preserve Districts of both Cook and Dupage County do work with the Blanding's Turtle as well.
The Bottlenose Dolphin: Biology and Conservation is a good one specifically on the Bottlenose Dolphin. From my dodgy memory, it's a pretty general...
Yup that’s the one. The exact name escaped me there. I wish it would’ve been the Togo Slippery Frogs though. Anyone know why the Asia exhibit has...
Happened to be at the zoo today. The pangolin exhibit has been fully renovated into the African Rock Python exhibit. It seems a bit odd given the...

Maybe you’d know more about this than me so I thought I’d ask. When I first heard about how the Mexican Gray Wolves were managed, I was told it...
Another good example of a combined wild and captive meta population is how Mexican Gray Wolves are managed in captivity in American zoos. Captive...
You might be able to contact the AZA's TAG group for Canids and Hyaenids for more information. There are probably dozens of zoos in the AZA that...
In the AZA, there's a wide array of zoo programs and opportunities for teens interested in wildlife and conservation. It's a very common trend in...
I should make it clear that my argument is mostly going to be in support of accredited zoos by the AZA, EAZA, CAZA, WAZA, and other accrediting...
Yes a Sulcata tortoise named Rotunda made an appearance in the wallaby yard every now and then back before the pandemic. There wasn’t ever any...
I believe Su-Lin can still be seen over at the Field Museum in Chicago where he was taxidermied following his death
Personally, I think it could work to their advantage if comparisons were properly drawn. A focus on the evolution of Galapagos species (comparing...
