    I think I'm actually averaging 0.5 species per zoo, because I've visited three this year with no marsupials :D

    I can’t believe it’s only 85 days since my last zoo visit (at Arizona-Sonora, not LA). It feels like lifetimes ago.

    Moonlit Sanctuary - daytime version
    30. Common wombat - Vombatus ursinus
    31. Red-bellied pademelon - Thylogale billardierii
