animal collections I have visited

 

Two more since May: Livingston Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy and Staten Island Zoo, which brings my total to 65 (32 US, 33 UK).

Also, I liked Drill's map so I made one for me

I forgot one: Magic Wings Butterfly Conservancy & Gardens, so I;m at 66 and have seen an equal number of US and UK collections.

Here's my map, which I created a few years ago at the request of another zoochatter. I should be adding to it over the next few weeks.

My Zoos

 

Now that is a very impressive map. Any hints on where you're about to travel to next?

 

A couple of weeks touring zoos in Japan (between Osaka and Tokyo).
I'm hoping that @vogelcommando and I will be able to spend a morning in Avifauna at the weekend (during my airport transit), and other zoochatters will be showing up later in the trip.

 

Very nice, I look forward to hearing about your next set of adventures. I take it you won't be at the IZES meet up in November then?

 

When did you visit the Philadelphia Zoo?

 

It's unlikely - due to other commitments - but I will be back in the country almost a month before then.

 

My best guess is 54 zoos; I've already lost count. The number will surely increase over time, however.

In mid-August.

 

85 and 86: Mill mountain zoo and Natural bridge zoo.

 

Well I've added a couple more over the past few weeks:
67) Dallas World Aquarium
68) Fort Worth Zoo
69) Dallas Zoo
70) Houston Zoo
71) San Antonio Zoo
72) Gladys Porter Zoo
73) Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum
74) Wildlife World Zoo
75) SeaWorld San Diego
76) San Diego Zoo
77) San Diego Zoo Safari Park
78) Aquarium of the Pacific
79) California Living Museum
80) Santa Barbara Zoo
81) Living Desert Zoo & Gardens
82) Gibbon Conservation Center
83) Emerald Forest Bird Gardens
84) Orange County Zoo
85) Santa Ana Zoo
86) Prehistoric Pets: The Reptile Zoo

Before anyone asks the last one is a pet store reptile zoo and yes it sucks

Should put me at 53 for the US and 33 for the UK unless I did my quick calculations wrong.

I have moved up one category (from 75-99 to 100 or more) since I created the poll. I am sure others have moved up as well. Maybe it is time for me to create a new one? I will also have to adjust to add a higher count category (maybe 300 or more).

 

Nowhere near enough!

 

I started this thread a while ago and it lists close to 20 individuals that have all been to 300+ zoos:

300+ Different Zoos Visited
