About this catalogue
Where the list comes from
Species-level taxa with at least one iNaturalist observation marked captive, refreshed periodically. “Captive records” counts observations, not animals traded, and includes zoo collections.
How it's organized
Each species is placed in a group and category from its taxonomic order and family. Our operations team reviews names, handling notes and categories over time.
