What to do with the Sacramento Zoo: Chapter II - Revenge of the Rarities

[QUOTE="Hipporex, post: 1177268, member: 15501]
Current Crested coua exhibit would be demolished[/QUOTE]

Good! Personally I do have a soft spot for the couas themselves, but the current exhibit the zoo put up is atrocious!
 
Zone: New World
Theme: North and South America
Color on map: Light blue
Exhibits: 13
Species: 28

Probably the biggest "zone" in the zoo.

upload_2019-12-16_18-34-42-png.423562

  • Capybara/Baird’s tapir/Giant anteater exhibit
Exhibit would be modified, including flora would be added, moat would be filled in, and large pool would be added.
  • Thick-billed parrot exhibit
Exhibit would stay the same.
  • American alligator exhibit
Exhibit would look as its going to by March.
  • Galapagos giant tortoise exhibit
Exhibit would take over a sizeable portion of the land part of the former South Lake.
  • American comb duck/American flamingo/American white pelican/Black-necked swan/Nene/Orinoco goose/White-faced whistling duck exhibit
Exhibit would stay the same except for new species being added.
  • Common squirrel monkey exhibit
Exhibit would go where the "island of plants" currently are next to South Lake.
  • Red-rumped agouti/Southern tamandua/Toco toucan/White-faced saki exhibit
Exhibit would stay where it is but also expand to the left (taking over the current amazon exhibit) and right.
  • Smooth-fronted caiman exhibit
  • Rhinoceros iguana exhibit
These outdoor exhibits would be slightly larger than the current ones in the reptile house. There'd also be an indoor portion for cold days.
  • Green anaconda/Plumed basilisk exhibit
Outdoor shed with 1 exhibit housing these 2 species.
  • Harpy eagle exhibit
Inhabit current ground hornbill exhibit (I know map says it's apart of Okapi Forest but I changed my mind).
  • North American river otter exhibit
Exhibit would take over Zoo's Backyard garden and be about the size of the current exhibit.
  • Agazzis’s desert turtle/Burrowing owl/Gambel’s quail/Greater roadrunner exhibit
Located where the former burrowing owl and magpie exhibit were.

Tikal and Sasha would rotate on a daily basis. This first exhibit would be the same as the current jaguar exhibit except with different viewing areas (with glass viewing) and the path in between South Lake and the exhibit would be ridded of to expand the exhibit. The second exhibit would take up the current Small Feline Courtyard.

What am I missing here? The Squirrel monkeys are going in the Rare Feline Courtyard per the zoo's actual actions, and it seems like you are placing them there too? But how can that work if you already turned it into a Jaguar exhibit?
 
Zone: Nightlife
Theme: Nocturnality (it's a night house)
Location on map: Large building behind Echidna Outpost
Exhibits: 8
Species: 16

This exhibit would take over what is now Small Wonders (in addition to some of the current pathway).

  • Aye-aye (female)/Mongoose lemur exhibit
  • Aye-aye (male)/Malagasy jumping rat exhibit
  • Damaraland mole-rat exhibit
  • Southern white-faced owl exhibit *
  • Aardvark/Greater bushbaby/Rodrigues fruit bat exhibit
  • North Island kiwi/Sugar glider/Tawny frogmouth exhibit
  • Common vampire bat/Pallas’s long-tongued bat exhibit**
  • Kinkajou/Linnaeus’s two-toed sloth/Southern three-banded armadillo exhibit
*I changed my mind, the southern white-faced owls would go in here and the spur-winged lapwings would go in the walk-through aviary
**I'm not sure if this mix would be possible

They'd be in the exhibit at the bottom of the blue "J" in front of the jaguar exhibit
 
Zone: Okapi Forest
Theme: Tropical Africa
Color on map: Tan
Exhibits: 3
Species: 4

upload_2019-12-18_20-5-46-png.423624


  • West African slender-snouted crocodile exhibit
Exhibit would take over a seating area and some pathway.
  • Okapi exhibit
  • Black-crowned crane/Okapi exhibit
These would stay the same.

To the right of that. Sorry I didn't make this clear enough.

Ok, gotcha. You're doing quite well, you just rearranged that area just enough my brain was trying to mix actual zoo with your revision and it wasn't quite clicking! Keep up the good work though, this has been quite interesting!
 
Zone: Red Panda Trail
Theme: China
Color on map: Pink
Exhibits: 5
Species: 8

upload_2019-12-17_21-17-8-png.423585


  • Red panda exhibit #1
  • Red panda exhibit #2
The zoo owns two red panda couples. Exhibit #1 is the original exhibit. Exhibit #2, the smaller of the two, is the new exhibit. The couples would rotate on a daily basis.
  • South China giant salamander exhibit
The Chinese turtle exhibit would be completely redone to house the world's largest amphibian.
  • Azure-winged magpie/Himalayan monal exhibit
Exhibit would stay the same.
  • Chinese striped-neck turtle/Goldfish/Koi exhibit
The turtles and goldfish would join the koi in their current pond.

The dedication to your zoo is amazing. If I had half the imagination you have I’d be doing the same with Oakland :p

I could attempt an Oakland Zoo one someday if you'd be interested. However it wouldn't be as in depth as this one as a) I'm less familiar with the zoo and b) I think most of the exhibits are already adequate.

PM me if you want to do a project with Oakland dude because there is a lot of stuff that can arguably be fixed.
