    You are absolutely correct!
    Now it is time to vote for the next theme, if we aren’t going with the existing result of “Zoos and Aquariums”.

    Zoos and Aquariums will do. Which such institution once hosted events at an Olympic Games?

    That was an interesting question, Tetzoo Quizzer. I initially thought of Berlin Zoo until I did some research.

    Which zoo includes an original train station, a family cemetery, a demonstration garden and an Azalea Trail?

    Rhabdopleura is the key living genus of Pterobranch (Hemichordate); hopefully that should get you a handle on the story.

    Yes, but pterobranchs are not graptolites. They belong to same Phylum, but they're as related as a sardine with a fox. Pterobranchs was discovered much earlier than 2010, the group was already defined in 1887 (prior to that they was considered as aberrant bryozoans).

    Please note that my original answer finished with a question Mark! I was aware of the claimed link, and also vaguely aware that there are controversies connected to the link. If you read my answer, it is suggesting the key terms that should lead to further information. I have not looked into the details myself; I would also be grateful if you know any good references to follow up.
