I know that especially with the Cincinnati Zoo's collection it's difficult, but I'm working on an article and am trying to start collecting as close to as an exhaustive species listing for the zoo. Can anyone try and help? Thank you all.
Yes, I'm sorry--I should have mentioned that. All of the species listed on their website are already accounted for. I'm looking for species beyond that (which is obviously a significant amount!).
When the ISIS website first came online with the species abstracts I made a hobby of trolling through the species listings and compiling the collections of individual zoos (including Cincinnati). Doing so will make you go cross-eyed and head-achy, but it will give you a (reasonable) approximation of Cincinnati's current collection (at least for the vertebrates).
I do wish ISIS would have an option to display collections and all the species they hold at that time, that would be so much easier
I agree, that would be amazing for all zoo enthusiasts. However, I think I will have to start looking through ISIS and hoping for some lucky hits.
I was looking at amphibians kept in the UK when I saw this thread so I also looked at Cincinnati's amphibians. I don't know how up to date it is. AMPHIBIANS Streamside Salamander (Ambystoma barbouri) 1.1 Californian Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma californiense) 1.0.4 Jefferson Salamander (Ambystoma jeffersonianum) 1 Long-toed Salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum) 1.0 Spotted Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) 2 Two-toed Amphiuma (Amphiuma means) 1 Chinese Giant Salamander (Adrias davidianus) 1.0 Japanese Giant Salamander (Andrias japonicus) 2.1 Marine Toad (Chauncus marinus) 5 Chuxiong Fire-bellied Newt (Cynops cyanurus chuxiongensis) 3.2.23 Japanese Fire-bellied Newt (Cynops pyrrhogaster) 0.1 Green and Black Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates auratus) 1 Blue Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates azureus) 1 Yellow-banded Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates leucomelas) 4 Yellow and Blue Poison dart Frog (Dendrobates tinctorius) 2 Northern Dusky Salamander (Desmognathus fuscus) 2 Seal Salamander (Desmognathus monticola) 1 Allegheny Mountains Dusky Salamander (Desmognathus ochrophaeus) 0.1 Alligator Newt (Echinotriton andersoni) 1.1.15 Cave Salamader (Eurycea lucifuga) 3 Spring Salamander (Gyrinophilus porphyriticus) 4 Grey Tree Frog (Hyla versicolor) 17 Clouded Salamander (Hynobius nebulosus) 4 Asian Painted Frog (Kaloula pulchra) 1 South Italian Newt (Lissotriton italicus) 1.1 Arboreal Mantella (Mantella laevirgata) 1 Frog (Melanophryniscus stelzneri) 1 Waterdog (Necturus) 4 Cuban Tre Frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) 1 Black-spotted Brook Salamander (Pachytriton brevipes) 2.0 Unterstein's Brook Salamander (Pachytriton labiatum) 1.0 White's Tree Frog (Pelodryas litoria) 1.0.3 Golden Poison dart Frog (Phyllobates terribilis) 1 Northern Marine Salamander (Plethrodon electromorphus) 0.1 Northern Slimy Salamander (Plethrodon glutinosus) 6 Jordan's Salamander (Plethrodon jordani) 1 Rich Mountain Salamander (Plethrodon ouachitae) 1.0 Yonahlossee Salamander (Plethrodon yonahlossee) 2.1 Denny's Tree Frog (Polypedates dennysi) 1 Dwarf Siren (Pseudobranchus auritus) 1 Northern Red Salamander (Pseudotriton ruber ruber) 1.1 Spanish Fire Salamander (Salamandra salamandra bernardezi) 1.2 Like Ungulate I also look at ISIS regularly, One way which I do this is to higlight the collection I am interested in and the just look out for the name in red. Another way is of there is a large listing eg Anas, Macaca I just do a search for the collection name on that page.
