i haven’t visited a zoo since i was a kid, so i honestly can’t remember what sorts of animals i saw back then, but i know the zoo closest to me has axolotls and red pandas, so those are my favourite by default! i’d love to go there again one day just for them
either the zoo or the african lion safari used to have stingrays that we could touch, and i absolutely loved them when i was a kid!
the zoo also has brownbanded bamboo sharks, fly river turtles, greater kudus, blue poison dart frogs, north american river otters, american moose, mouflons, przewalski’s horses, arctic wolves, and caribous apparently! i’m not sure if any of them were there last time i went, but i’d love to go for them as well! they have a bunch of cool birds there as well
