Find a zoo by animal
Pick the animal you want to see, then find the zoos that have it
There are plenty of guides to what each zoo has, but few that answer the reverse question: where do I go to see this animal? We start with the most-asked star animals, and every zoo links to the zoo's own page or news as its source. Anything we could not confirm is left out.

Why only these animals?
No complete, freely usable database of which zoo keeps which animals exists, so each animal has to be checked zoo by zoo. We start with the most-asked animals whose locations we can confirm: pandas, koalas and sea otters are kept by few zoos, so we list them worldwide; otters are kept by many, so we start with Taiwan and Japan. More will be added once we can list them completely.
Last checked: 2026-11-11. Animals are returned or moved, so check the zoo's website before you go.
