    I will be making a species list annually in the summer each year, the animals are not arranged in alphabetical order but in their locations at the zoo, so it will go mammals-forest Passage mammals African savanna, and so on. The list will go mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and then invertebrates Mollusks cniderians and stuff like that will be put together in one group.

    Do we have four female nyalas? I was told by another news source that the male does not arrive until the fall.

    Scorpion should be under invertebrates, not reptiles. If there is still a tarantula in the bat area, it would go there too.

    The National Aviary is between 8 to 10 miles away. That is their specialty.

    More reptiles and amphibians should be coming in the Conservation Solarium.

    yes, I figured the National Aviary was the reason, but it's still only nine bird species in a major US zoo. That's pretty poor I feel.

    Agreed. If I've counted correctly, the aviary has 100 species of birds (and two mammals) on exhibit permanently (so not shows/encounters/whatever). However, the aviary receives less than 200,000 visitors a year while the zoo received over a million. It's pretty pitiful, and the only aviary I recall was a beautifully planted walkthrough, but only for one (unseen) species:
    They were signed but I did not see any.

    No the zoo does not have silvery cheeked hornbills
