ZAA Species List Index Introduction: Given how many species lists we’ve created between us for our region’s zoos, wildlife parks and aquariums, I thought it would be helpful to have these listed in an index for easy access. In some cases, we have multiple species listed for a facility - which is fine as it offers an opportunity to compare and contrast over the years. I’ve tried to be as comprehensive as possible in finding all the species lists of ZAA facilities (if you put species list in the title then that was helpful); but if I’ve missed yours and you wanted it added or you create a species list in the future, feel free to post it below. ——————————————————————————— ——————————————————————————— New Zealand Auckland Zoo: Auckland Zoo Species List [Auckland Zoo] by @Zoofan15 (April 2022) Auckland Zoo species list, February 2021 [Auckland Zoo] by @Chlidonias (February 2021) Dunedin Botanic Gardens: Dunedin Botanic Gardens Species List [Dunedin Botanic Garden -

Great list and idea! I was actually planning to get around to making one of these soon, but it’s great to know you’ve managed to compile one. I see we don’t have one for Werribee nor Healesville. I’ll make sure to try make one for both next time I visit.
I made a typo. Thanks for alerting me. I’ve fixed the intro, but will need a mod to change the title.
What a coincidence! I just posted a very similar thread for North America a day earlier... In all seriousness though, this is also nice compilation, useful quick access to all of the various species lists. While making the NA thread, I stumbled upon a good handful of species lists from Australia and New Zealand and thought to myself that a similar thread would be handy for the region as well.
Thanks. Labelling it AZA was an embarrassing typo - lucky @TinoPup was on the ball! I thought it’d be a useful resource for anyone on ZooChat thinking of visiting those zoos, as the first thing any of us would want to know is what species are held there and many facilities have only basic information on their website. By having it all in one index, it saves people having to search by zoo. This way people can also get an overview by state or country, which may also be useful if visiting for long enough to see a few facilities.
Additional Species Lists I’ve gone through all the reviews of ZAA zoos and the following contained a concise species list. I’m not including those where the species list is integrated within a generalised review. ———————————————— Queensland Alexandra Park Zoo: Review of Alexandra Park Zoo [Alexandra Park Zoo] by @WhistlingKite24 (December 2021) Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary: A Review of SEA LIFE Sydney [Sydney Aquarium] by @WhistlingKite24 (November 2019) ———————————————— New South Wales SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium: A Review of SEA LIFE Sydney [Sydney Aquarium] by @WhistlingKite24 (January 2020) ———————————————— Victoria Gumbuya World: Gumbuya Park - a review [Gumbuya Park] by @Astrobird (July 2015) ————————————————
@Zoofan15 Well said man, can't even begin to say how appreciative to see all the knowledge shared on here
@Zoofan15, I've found time to compile a species list for Werribee based on my last visit: Werribee Open Range Zoo Species List [Werribee Open Range Zoo]
Thank you to @WhistlingKite24 for noticing (and for advising me via PM) that the links were incorrect for these two facilities in my opening post. I’ve put in a request for these to be edited, but in the meantime, here are the correct links in case anyone was wanting to view them: Cleland Wildlife Park: Cleland Wildlife Park Species List [Cleland Wildlife Park] by @Najade(January 2018) Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park: Looking for a moonlit sanctuary species list [Moonlit Sanctuary] by @MRJ(September 2019) Asfhgg
