    Considering that you both uploaded Minnesota zoo pictures within a span of 24 hours there is no way you two missed each other.

    My photos were taken a week ago :p. Even with that aside, I’ve probably seen @CheeseChameleon1945 at least once on my visits to the zoo.

    Sadly nowhere near a platypus
    For me it’s zero. Finland just doesn’t have many zoochatters and visits to other countries zoos are rare but I would definitely want to meet at least one other zoochatter in my lifetime :).

    My photos were taken the day prior.
    @Dhole dude do you take your pictures with a phone or a camera?

    I've definitely seen you then, but I think it was last year. I remember seeing a kid walking around taking wide shots with a phone.

    That would be me :p. I also have a vague memory of having a conversation with a kid with long hair at the Estuary a couple years back, Not sure if it was you or not, but it could’ve been.

    He seemed to know his stuff. It was a while ago, so I don't really remember the details :p.

    I met @David Matos Mendes twice this year. I believe we were the first two Brazilian ZooChatters to meet each other.

    I've never actually planned on meeting anybody, but I saw @Z4ccity_qxv's Singapore Zoo posts the same day I visited. I'm pretty sure the tiger and the Saltwater Crocodile were in the exact same position...

    I met @WanderingDragon without even realising back in 2021 at Twycross Zoo and only realised after I queried on the forum.

    I've probably seen many more without realising especially with countless visits to Chester over the years. I hope to meet many more people here but where and when is another matter

    Seeing as I visited London a zoo on the same day as @amur leopard and Hemsley Conservation Centre on the same day as @Fresco3 , chances are I have met both of them, although without realising it at the time. Hopefully will be able to add more to this list in the future!

    Yesterday, I met @RatioTile I picked him and his mom up at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona where they had a layover. During their brief time in Arizona, I took them to Wildlife World Zoo so he could add new species to his life list. I really enjoyed meeting @RatioTile.
