Who and how many zoochatters have you met?

Some of us, maybe

Ok, so apparently there were two ZooChatters I met that I forgot to mention, they were;

@kifaru at the Gladys Porter Zoo last year in 2019.

and

@Ungulate in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida when they hosted the 2018 AZA Midyear Conference which was hosted by the Jacksonville Zoo. I also met with him in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona when they hosted the 2019 AZA Midyear Conference. We visited Phoenix Zoo, Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium, and the Odysea Aquarium, which were all in group settings for conference attendees.

 

Im really not so sure, I see plenty of people at the zoo. I probably have seen @Dhole dude though.

 

Since I visited the Minnesota zoo every month for 5 years, I bet I’ve saw @CheeseChameleon2007 sometime when I visited.

 

The kid with the long hair. I myself have gone to the minnesota zoo pretty much every month as well, except when Covid started. I've still gone twice, during the pandemic, but not as much As I usually would have gone.

 

None that I know of but if anyone wants to organize a Detroit Zoo meetup, I'm in.

 

I only met one zoochatter in real life but back then I only had suspected he was a zoochatter.

 

Regarding Zoochatters I have met, another one I can add to my list is @Ituri at the Phoenix Zoo this past Friday. I had an enjoyable visit with him.

 

Unless there are more South African Zoochatters then I've met none

 

@TinoPup has the honor of being the twentieth ZooChatter I have met. We met last week at Metro Richmond Zoo to watch cheetah cubs in the morning. Here is my updated list, though several of these members are no longer active.

You have the honor of being my second

 

It was an honor to meet you and get a copy of your book.

 

Wish I could get one, Probably wouldn't be allowed it

 

If you are referrring to my book Zoos of the Southwest, I only have half a dozen left. I am mostly saving them for gifts. I mean I could send one out but the problem is overseas mailing is so expensive that it wouldn't be worth the cost.

 

If I ever Go to Chester zoo I will wear a silly hat to may myself identifiable. Or to make it better I should just walk around there in my zebra onsie. That way it’s going to be possible to find the elusive PossumRoach.

 

Yeah lol

 

I've met one zoo chatter in real life, @Dyl0526.
And I think "met" *might* be an understatement for this one.

 

Another zoochatter I have met that I forgot to mention. @Aardwolf

I originally met @Aardwolf at the 2018 American Association of Zoos & Aquariums Mid-Year Conference in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida.

I met him again at the 2019 American Association of Zoos & Aquariums Mid-Year Conference in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona.

I also met with him and his wife in mid-2019, when they were visiting Maricopa County, Arizona. We visited the Arizona Museum of Natural History and the Desert Botanical Garden, the former is in Mesa and the latter is in Phoenix. We all then had a good meal at a sports bar in Tempe afterwards.

 

I did end up meeting @Ituri at the Phoenix Zoo a week before meeting with @Aardwolf and his wife in mid-2021.

 

I mis-typed there... My third time meeting @Aardwolf when we went to the Arizona Museum of Natural History and Desert Botanical Garden was actually in mid-2021, not mid-2019, though as mentioned above we did meet in 2019 in Phoenix as well.
