One living-collection record that follows each animal or plant between institutions, for life.
One animal record — studbook lineage, veterinary history, diet — that follows the animal between institutions, for life. A breeding-loan transfer moves a permission, not a fragmented export, so the receiving facility gains access and the animal's history stays continuous. It is zoo and aquarium operations built around the animal, not the building.
What's included
One module, three institution types — pick zoo, aquarium, and/or botanical garden; the surface adapts to the collection you keep
Canonical animal record — studbook lineage, vet history, diet plans live on the animal and follow it on every transfer (held ≠ owned for breeding loans)
Canonical plant accession — botanical name, provenance, wild-collection data, and IUCN conservation status live on the specimen and travel with it
Inter-institution transfers move a permission, never a copy — the receiving institution gains access, the history stays continuous
Husbandry + horticulture: keeper rounds and behavioral notes, or watering / pruning / fertilizing / repotting and IPM pest-and-disease control with follow-ups
Veterinary + plant-health records: exams, treatments, quarantine, and condition assessments
Phenology bloom calendar drives a public "what's blooming now"; propagation + a seed / germplasm bank track parent-to-offspring lineage and viability
Garden mapping (beds, greenhouses, collection zones), scannable QR plant labels, and a visitor photo wall — all through the image-moderation pipeline
Opt-in cross-institution conservation network so gardens can discover who holds a rare taxon — permission to ask, never a copy
About this module
Zoos & Aquariums lives at /zoo and applies the same idea to living collections: the animal owns its record. Studbook lineage, veterinary history, and diet plans live on the animal and follow it on every transfer — because in accredited breeding programs an animal is held, not owned, and its record has to stay whole as it moves between institutions. Transfer an animal on a breeding loan and the receiving zoo gains a permission to the continuous record, never a copy that immediately starts drifting from the original.
The daily work of keeping animals runs from where the keepers actually are. Husbandry — keeper rounds, behavioral observations, enrichment schedules — lives on a phone-first keeper board at /keeper, alongside veterinary records (exams, treatments, quarantine, prescriptions, necropsy) and the studbook itself (taxonomy, microchip / transponder / band identifiers, parentage, ZIMS Global Accession #).
It sits beside the system you already trust. Species360's ZIMS can remain your studbook of record while Turtini owns visitor operations, husbandry, diet, and staff — or, for an unaccredited facility, flip it to system-of-record and run everything here. And like Sports and Museums, it is cross-context: the institution runs at /zoo while a keeper carries their own professional record at /me/keeper, so an animal-care career follows the person across every facility they work at.
What you can do with it
Keep one animal record — studbook lineage, vet history, diet — that follows the animal on every transfer
Move a breeding-loan animal as a permission grant, with its history staying continuous
Run keeper rounds, behavioral observations, and enrichment from a phone-first keeper board
Track veterinary care — exams, treatments, quarantine, prescriptions, necropsy — on the animal
Complement Species360 ZIMS, or become system-of-record for an unaccredited facility
