    Great work! I visited Toledo Zoo last November. I thought it was very unique with a surprisingly vast collection. The museum and the reptile house were two highlights for me.

    Their species aren't identified or/and no one has seen them in a WHILE
    Tamandua, Allen's Swamp Monkey, and Mongoose Lemur have not been seen for a year, and the Guitarfish i was told last week got taken out

    If they're still signed, general species list guidelines have any signed/known but unseen species put in italics

    This posts seems to include a lot of unreleased information per what I know of Toledo's recent press releases. You might want to be careful with that now that you're working for the zoo.

    this was noted before i got hired so this was just knowledge the staff tells people, other than the Alligator and echidna, the rest were on public display that i myself as a guest have seen with my own eyes

    But don't expect any other secrets due to the social media and privacy policy the zoo has.
    only public animals only that a normal guest can see, and with that i hope to see you guys at the Zoo someday!
    will still update this when new public animals are revealed and shown.

    Very useful information! I made a species list ages ago, but it's definitely outdated and Toledo does like to rotate species (which is fine with me, means I'll see something different or new every visit I make :D ). Can't wait for the upcoming additions to the zoo!

    Did the lowland nyalas leave Toledo already? If so, that was quite a bit of a short stay… (I know the zebras and warthogs left, but I’m hearing things about construction going on in that portion of the zoo soon?)
