Why are some names in quotation marks? Names listed in quotation marks are unofficial names. This means those names do not appear in the individual's official records. While Zoo Atlanta team members may use these names, if the animal transfers to another facility, that facility may not use those names.
Why are some animals' birth/hatch dates only estimates? We do not know the exact dates that animals were born or hatched if they were born in the wild or donated to the Zoo from a private individual. Zoo records and management processes have improved significantly in recent decades, so it is primarily long-lived species with estimated birth/hatch dates.
What do the letters in parentheses after the species name mean? Those letters are abbreviations of IUCN Red List categories (conservation statuses). Refer to the table at the bottom right of the first page of the AQR for a key.
How often is the AQR updated? The AQR is updated on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on how many changes need to be made. If you're curious about an individual that is not on the AQR, please fill out the IRL Feedback Form.
Why is there a discrepancy between the PDF and the Google Calendar? Both of these resources are manually managed by a human, so mistakes are inevitable. Please fill out the IRL Feedback Form if you notice a discrepancy.
