Zoochatcom Species or List or Review or Walkthrough Kansas City

1. Yesterday, I got the opportunity to go to the Kansas Metropolis Zoo. I couldn't find any species lists for this particular zoo, so I decided to brand 1. Every time I go to a zoo or aquarium, I write downwards all the species that I encounter in that location. I don't include species I don't see. For this reason, I won't be including some species I oasis't seen (except for the ones I remember I didn't see). I'1000 sorry if I missed any species, equally I don't think every single species I didn't meet. Too, some exhibits similar the ophidian house, Stingray Bay, and the lower level of the Discovery Barn, will non exist included because I didn't encounter them, since they were airtight due to COVID-xix. This list is accurate equally of nine/nineteen/20.

   And that, is a full list of every fauna in the zoo (to my knowledge). Hoped I helped! Permit me know if I missed any.

2. (edit: There are no Mute Swans in the Asian waterfowl pond, they were actually juvenile Trumpeter Swans.)

4. I was at the Kansas Metropolis Zoo many years ago and was quite disappointed, especially when it was contrasted with the St. Louis Zoo, where I was and so living. They've done wonders with information technology and it's a first-grade facility now, recommended for any Zoo Chatter who tin can become there. Make sure you have comfy walking shoes.

5. You may be all-time off request 1 of the moderators to move this thread to the Kansas City Zoo forums

6. Ane thing that I find actually interesting about the KC zoo is that they practise non keep any venomous reptiles. And so they have enough of snakes, but none have venom. The STL zoo, past contrast, has almost 100-120 species of ophidian, and more than half are venomous. Near 10 years ago some idiot in KC bought a Blackness Mamba on the internet later seeing a documentary about i, and, having never kept a snake before, much less an extremely dangerous one, was rapidly freaked out and called the KC zoo to take it because he couldn't handle it. They had no thought what to do with it, either, because they won't showroom species with venom, and so they had to call the STL zoo to have someone drive all the way across the state, pick information technology upward, then drive back. I believe that mamba is the one still on exhibit today, actually.

7. Why does the KCZ not keep venomous reptiles?

8. I have no idea. My guess is it'due south because that requires employing keepers with all-encompassing experience having handled venomous species, and there aren't a whole lot of people that meet those requirements. A whole host of precautionary measures to keep the staff safety must exist maintained for every potentially-dangerous brute.

9. Penguin species: King, Gentoo, Macaroni, and Humboldt. At that place are no longer any Rockhoppers of either subspecies since 2017

   Stingray bay: Cownose, Southern, Yellowish rays, white spotted bamboo shark

10. Oops, sorry. I though they were Rockhoppers.

11. Are their slender-snouts really Central African? I was nether the assumption that all the slender-snouts in the Usa were W African

12. Aye sorry about that. They are Due west African. I created this thread earlier I discovered they were Westward African, not Primal. But past that fourth dimension, my postal service was also sometime to edit.

    Here'due south the post where I questioned whether it was a W Or Central African a while ago. It was confirmed to be a West African.

    Central or West African Slender-Snouted Crocodile? - ZooChat

    Cheers for the list and updates! Information technology really reminded me how this zoo must exist among the summit contenders for nearly complete African species collections!

15. For the original poster, @BerdNerd, the Australia Asylum not having signs was my fault! I tried to clean the signs, it didn't go as planned, I ended up breaking everything, yada yada yada, signs went adieu-bye. Full project-day failure. But there are new signs upwardly now! Solid my bad though! It felt weird seeing my fault and not apologizing, then - in that location it is. And if nobody answered, the fiddling parrot pictured is one of our (now off exhibit) kākārikis. They're the best!

16. It'southward quite alright! I understand that nosotros all make mistakes, and thanks for attempting to clean the signs. Dirt and bird poop covered signs are something I have seen at many other zoos, and I can tell you information technology's quite disgusting. Even without the signs, I was able to easily identify most of the birds on my own, and had help from other ZooChatters with the motion-picture show I took of the unknown parrot. But it'southward nice to have someone you actually works there to identify this bird for me, since I know their answer is 100% accurate!

    Are the kakariki off exhibit for the winter, or more long term than that?

18. Most probable long term, unless something changes. They're starting to turn upward more in the states through hobbiests, so more than zoos may start exhibiting them in the future?

19. This is an excellent thread and thank you for posting the species list! I'm impressed past the Kansas City Zoo'due south collection!
