What types of local animals have you see in or near your local zoo? I don't mean native species on display in an exhibit, but wild animals roaming free on zoo grounds. I have personally seen the following at the North Carolina Zoo: White-tailed deer Eastern gray squirrel Raccoon Feral cat House mouse Canada goose Mallard duck Great blue heron Green heron Turkey vulture Black vulture Mourning dove American crow Blue jay Northern cardinal House sparrow Eastern kingsnake Black rat snake Northern water snake Five-lined skink Carolina anole Common snapping turtle Eastern box turtle American bullfrog Green tree frog
I'm fairly certain there have already been threads on this topic. EDIT- Here's one. Wild Animals on Zoo Grounds
