    Total amount of species: 161

    Now some of these might be inaccurate, for example the bukhara urial which I only saw the male at the zoo but the website says the females have already arrived, the barbary macaques who all have name plates in their indoor area but because i couldn't go inside i was unable to see them or the snowy owls that i think i saw three of them but on the website they only mention two. Anyway i got a year pass now so ill be going back extremely soon to figure this stuff out.

    Some new information has been uncovered. The newest peccary piglet has been named Nisse and it has been confirmed that the urial females have not arrived yet.

    Source: I work at the zoo ;) We're slowly updating more information about the individuals to our website, but of course there is always some delay with the infos there, as things can change quickly in a zoo.

    Thank you so much for all this information! I was just at the zoo right now and I was already suspecting Black lemur Roo still being there since I did not see her during my last visit and her not showing up on the live camera. However she was still mentioned on the zoos website. Also it’s nice to have someone on the inside.;)
