Not amazingly realistic, this zoo definitely fails on a couple of levels in my opinion from the comfort of the UK.
Jungle temple/gibbon house? Fail!
Quagga? Fail!
Livingstone in with cheetah? Fail!
Porcupine enclosure that looks like a patio and pond? Fail!
Please tell me I'm wrong and it's a good zoo overall?
I don't know about it being a spectaculaly good zoo, but it's flippin' hilarious!
I think it's important to distinguish between weird and bad - the cheetah and gibbon enclosures are very weird but I'm not sure they're really bad - they're basically two rather average exhibits with weird ol' aesthetics.
The porky, coypu and lemur enclosures are where the problems lie - otherwise there's not too much wrong - just a little local zoo with a few bizarre designs.
I quite like the sculptures (scary lady excepted) - they're stylised, yes, but nothing wrong with that (and they liven up an otherwise rather slight zoo). There's quite a consistent 'house style' across the whole set.

The gibbon enclosure and house looks really weird to my eyes... The other 3 "bad" enclosures do look pretty bad, the porcupine and coypu do really appear to be living feral in a very middle class garden!

I think that the sculptures are plain odd, scary lady included. I did like the one of the Sardinian pika though, how many average visitors are even aware of extant pika species?
