<5.6> What zoos have good herp collections?
Perhaps surprisingly, lots of them. In the United States, leaders include the National Zoological Garden in Washington, D.C., the San Diego Zoo, Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco, the Denver Zoo's Tropical Discovery exhibit, Zoo Atlanta, and many more (contributions solicited). The Baltimore Zoo gets extra brownie points for having many snakes in the children's zoo. A number of zoos in Europe have outstanding herp collections, often equipped with great naturalistic settings; the Rotterdam Zoo is a world leader, and the author wishes to take this opportunity to plug the zoo in Frankfurt as well. At least three zoos in the US have tuataras. The St. Louis Zoo has some that are said to be off-exhibit at this writing, and the Dallas and Toledo Zoos have recently opened exhibits. The London Zoo is now reported to have a pair of tuataras on display; the only other exhibit that I know of outside New Zealand. More information for this question is always welcome. ============================================================================== Section 6: Obtaining and identifying herps
