    I have been looking at the Ventura Wildlife's Zoological gardens zootierliste Species list and they have got it all wrong

    First of all Ventura does not housed these animals at the Zoological gardens at this moment in time:

    Raccoon Dog
    Mongoose Lemur
    Greater Tenrec
    Boobook Owl
    Brown Wood Owl
    Little Egret
    Hammerkop
    Blue Tongued Skink

    Secondly, THIS IS THE FULL SPECIES LIST AS OF 29/11/16

    Fossa
    Grant's Zebra
    Reindeer
    Ring Tailed Lemur
    Red Fronted Lemur
    Alpaca
    Llama
    Red Necked Wallaby
    Parma Wallaby
    Cuban Hutia
    Red Kangaroo
    Emu
    African Spoonbill
    Swainson's Lorikeet
    Green Naped Lorikeet
    Scarlet Ibis
    Laughing Kookaburra
    Bernier's Teal
    Straw Necked Ibis
    Burmese Rock Python
    Australian Green Tree Frog
    Brazilian Salmon Pink Tarantula
    Chaco Golden Knee Tarantula
    Madagascan Hissing Cockroach
    Giant African Millipede
    Flat Rock Scorpion


    And Thirdly, The Blue Tongued Skink and the Greater Tenrec are Pictured on a Sign that is on the Door to the New Reptile and Insect house that will be open soon (that will house Reptiles, Insects and Smaller Animals) so they will be housed in there opposite the Lorikeets and with the Raccoon Dogs, their enclosure is being Built after The Reptile House.

    I think you will find that the tenrec, owls and several reptiles are used in the animal show, which doesn't always display the same animals! The show I saw had an owl, Spiny tailed monitor, tenrec amongst others.

    I have had a look on Zootierliste and they have removed a lot of animals from the list such as Raccoon Dogs (Arriving at the zoological gardens this year), The Bernier Teals have been Removed now (Do not know If the zoo still houses them), same with the Straw Necked ibis, and the Owls have been removed but they have added the Reindeer and the frogs to the list
