I've been to so few UK collections - relatively speaking - this year that I haven't gotten around to updating my total since March and have completely lost track of what I have seen and where subsequently
It's almost the end of the year and I figured that as I spent some time an UK zoo over the summer, I'd do a quick tally for fun of what my total would be with just one place on the list. Hamerton Zoo 1. Lar Gibbon 2. (Black and White) Ruffed Lemur 3. Ring-tailed Lemur 4. (Linnaeus') Two-toed Sloth 5. Giant Anteater 6. Grant's Zebra 7. Bactrian Camel 8. Long-nosed Potoroo 9. Common Wombat 10. Siberian Chipmunk 11. Black-backed Jackal 12. Ring-tailed Coati 13. Meerkat 14. Serval 15. Tiger 16. Cheetah 17. North American Raccoon 18. Striped Skunk 19. (Southern) Cassowary 20. Greater Flamingo 21. Scarlet Ibis 22. (Eastern Grey-)Crowned Crane 23. Marabou Stork 24. Snowy Owl 25. Blue & Yellow Macaw 26. White-cheeked Turaco 27. Lilac Breasted Roller 28. (Victoria) Blue-crowned Pigeon 29. (Laughing & Blue-winged) Kookaburra
I'd pretty much given up on this as I didn't see that I was going to get any more of the random ones I don't already have before the end of the year. However, a trip to Dudley with friends this afternoon yielded a result I didn't think I would be getting: Dudley Zoo 149 Asiatic black bear First damn time I've ever seen her in all the visits I've had there, and I was just busily telling my friends we wouldn't see her today as she'd be all tucked up warm and asleep inside... and there she was, curled up right under us next to the wall!!
