Sometimes it is hard to make a decision on which zoo has the "best" exhibit for certain species, b/c several zoos have outstanding exhibits and it is hard for u to compare which one is better. It might be easier to list the "top 5" exhibits rather than the single "best", so according to your visit and opinion, which zoos' exhibits for certain species can be listed as the world's "Top 5"
Let go through these species first:
-Polar Bear
-Brown Bear
-Lion
-Tiger
-Jaguar
-Snow Leopard
-Wolf
-Red Panda
-Gorilla
-Orangutan
-Tamarin
-Lemur
-Pygmy Hippo
-Eagle
-Giant Owls (Eagle Owl, Snowy Owl, Great Horned etc)
-Hornbill
-Crane
 
I feel as though a top 5 for a lot of species might be a bit too broad, as there are a couple of standouts for each that spring to mind, but when the list goes on you get the higher end of a few very similar exhibits. Like with polar bears, it’d start with Detroit, Yorkshire and Highland Wildlife Park, but where after that? San Diego? St Louis? The thing is that so many polar bear exhibits are quite similar, so it feels like splitting hairs, as even though they’re very good, they pale in comparison to the top few. Hope this makes sense, your post is great but it just seems a bit too vague. Although to be fair I would have a top three in this case.
 
Does it have to be top 5? I don't know if a lot of people have top 5 exhibits, for any animal.
