Questions About Zoos

[Van Beal]

I've always had two very big (or I think they're big) questions about zoos, so I wanted to ask here to see what others think.
Firstly, what's the average count of unique animal species in a zoo? Or, what is a good amount of unique species in a zoo? And secondly, more of an opinion question I guess, but what kind of animal mixes would work in a zoo and which ones wouldn't?
Really hoping to get some answers!

What do you mean by "unique species"? Animal species only found in one zoo? Species in a zoo that are unrelated to any other species in the same zoo?

Okay maybe I should have clarified but I mean like how many different animal species, not unique to one zoo. Sorry for not clearing that up before!!
