Free-roaming: Indian Peafowl

 

Great list! Thank you for identifying the butterflies since I have been having some trouble trying to find out what they were myself, since I didn't see any signage for them.

 

There's signage now.

 

Turns out this is actually Mueller's Gibbon - sorry it wasn't signed!

 

Another correction: There are additional Straw-colored Fruit Bats sharing the Aye-Aye exhibit.

 

Another minor correction, I don't think there are impala mixed with the elephants and zebras anymore. There was an incident a few years ago where an impala got stuck in a fence and ended up drowning in the elephant pool. I didn't see any signage or reference to them being there anymore so I would guess they are only in the main savannah now.

 

Did you see the Sable Antelope? The last several times I have been there, there have not been any out on exhibit.

 

I added them because they were signed, I suspect you are correct and they are not mixed anymore.

Yes, I saw one female.

 

The total number of species seen on-exhibit at Omaha was 458. The number on display was likely higher than this (because of unsigned, unseen and unidentified species), and they must have many species off-display, too, given that 3 areas of the zoo were closed. America's Top 100 Zoos and Aquariums lists Omaha's collection as having ~1400 species.

 

That would mean that there would be almost 1000 missing species..... How accurate is this?
I mean to be fair exhibits were off display the time of this species list but still, almost 1000 is still a lot.

 

I discussed this with @snowleopard on another thread. The 1400 numbers is probably accurate and most of the species are just kept bts.

 

It's worth nothing, that Berlin's enormous collection includes more than 500 spieces of fishes and more than 300 spieces of Invertebrates, part of which not visible to the public. Most likely, that's the case with Omaha too.

 

Now that the Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom Pavilion has re-opened for the first time since 2020. Here are the species on exhibit in here:

Prehensile Tailed Skink (x3 exhibits)
Cave Rat Snake
Giant Cave Cockroach
Glass Lizard
Red Eyed Crocodile Skink
Chuckwalla
Gargoyle Gecko
Chinese Crocodile Lizard
Smooth Sided Toad
Hog Island Boa
Four Eyed Fish
Diamond Fish
