Animal Inventory
With over 5000 captive animals at the Zoo, someone needs to keep track of them! The registrars maintain and develop the entire Conservation, Education and Research database. They also perform a number of important tasks for the organization and safety of the Zoo's Animal Collection, including:
- Providing statistical information and reports from records, including the Annual Animal Collections Inventory,
- Informing the Manager of Administration, curators and veterinarians of significant trends apparent from records by way of written and oral reports,
- Maintaining and updating Breeding Loan Agreements,
- Coordinating with Facilities & Site staff to maintain and update animal areas within the Site Identification Code System,
- Assisting with the creation of policies in regard to animal reporting and recording, and working closely with staff, government agencies and other institutions.
The registrars are the Toronto Zoo contacts for the International Species Information System (ISIS). They provide data on relevant Toronto Zoo animals to the International and National Studbooks, as well as correspond and provide data on SSP® species at the Zoo. Finally, the Toronto Zoo registrars serve as the AZA International Studbook Keepers for the Puerto Rican crested toad.
