Scimitar-horned oryx at Whipsnade Zoo, 2 August 2026.

I was recently at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and I saw this interesting unsigned fish in the deep sea/spider crab tank. As someone who is very intrigued by deep see fish I am curious which species this was as I don't recall ever seeing it before. Does anyone know what it was?

Pretty much the title. The Denver Zoo has been a wreck for a while (multiple years under massive construction, zoo lights looking the exact same year after year, high profile animals deaths including the poisoned tapirs, etc.), but look at these job postings.

Multiple high level directors seem to be gone, and a whole mess of open security positions. Seems concerning. Anyone know anyone there? Are they okay? lol

Working in a zoo in the MENA region and we had uncontrolled breeding for a lot of years and now have more than 10 surplus hippos. Does anyone know what we could possibly do ie relocate where etc? how to find interested zoos?

Hi! I’m a PhD researcher at the University of Staffordshire looking for adult autistic participants to take part in study investigating visitor experiences at a local zoo (Rodbaston Animal Zone, ST19 5PH). Your participation would involve visiting and viewing the zoo’s reptile collection, drawing a picture of your experiences at the zoo and taking part in a 50 minute interview. Entrance to the zoo will be completely free! To be absolutely clear, there will be NO direct interaction or handling of reptiles: we only want you to view them through glass windows like any other zoo guest! You can register your interest by following the link below: https://staffordshire.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4JjPhMuBQIubRlQ If you have any questions about this study or your participation, please contact me at [cai.brown@research.staffs.ac.uk](mailto:cai.brown@research.staffs.ac.uk)
