European (Tea)Cup - HEAD-TO-HEAD: Tierpark Berlin vs Zoo Berlin (Grassland and Desert)

[TeaLovingDave]

As the title suggests, this one will focus on the GRASSLAND AND DESERT category - as previously, the match will last for three days and although discussion of your reasoning and provision of supplementary evidence is not mandatory (except in cases of a 5:0 vote) it *is* very much encouraged.

Moreover, even if one does not feel comfortable voting, please do ask questions, post comments relating to your opinions on the evidence presented, and generally-speaking get involved in the wider discussion!

I wouldn't say anything truly screams "GRASSLAND AND DESERT!" for either zoo, but the Tierpark does use its size to its advantage, with its relevant species being in very large, open exhibits, so there is that in its favour.

I guess with the Camel Meadow, the South American pampas and the African savannah, the Tierpark has a number of excellent exhibits that fit perfectly into this category. And with gelada, six equidae and a whole host of even-toed ungulates, perhaps also a better species list, at least for mammals. So 3:2 for the Tierpark seems appropriate to me

A bit of a disappointingly-quiet match all round.....

Tierpark Berlin - 36/60 points - 60.000%
Zoo Berlin - 24/60 points - 40.000%
