An Ideal Marwell map of mine

..from about a decade ago, albeit there being quite much less to see and do nowadays! (Unless you count the lego, but come on..) In all honesty though, it's just a decent collection nowadays, not as impressive as around a decade ago, but seemingly enough species for an average family, per se. However, compared to around a decade ago, it is quite underwhelming. That's just me though~~

Note: #3 is seemingly a clone of the Banded Mongoose exhibit~~ oops. Just imagine it's a Dwarf Mongoose exhibit or something

Some time later..
I see that the house has "Porcupime" in it than "Porcupine". Make of that as you like..
There's only so much usable space at the entrance as so the hippos could hypothetically use it..
"Not included .... kiosks ..." yet one part of the map says "kiosks"..
Ratel has more space than Ankole, in an area comparable to combining the adjacent Oryx paddock and the entire Encounter Village. If anything, the cattle would surely be happy to use that space..
Speaking of EV, it looks as if the Encounter Village moved significantly due left, whilst the Australian Brush-walk reinterpretation has moved rather east. I guess it is also debateable whether the area would have enough area to sustain wallabies alongside wombat, emu, kookaburra, meanwhile we only hope the cassowary and possum are held separately..! And does 'Encounter Village' here refer to its short-lived interpretation from 2007-c.2014 or the traditional children's farmyard?
Meanwhile, the map also manages to integrate a sizable tropical house that is larger than a number of exhibits in the zoo and outsizes the paddock for the camels and horses, and would no doubt cost the zoo a pretty penny more to build than would the one they have now... and a fair-sized portion of the valley has been cut off for some other exhibits.
Coati no doubt a photogenic species but recent law in Europe seems to have put an end to any possible sustainability of the species on the continent aside from perhaps those in more eastern nations..
And one can only hope the co-habitating vicuna and guanaco don't hybridse..!
I think what was done here is that this map largely rode on the rather pessimistic perception of Marwell at the time, and then traced over the 2013 map, and largely favoured squashing an animal exhibit into any possible nook or cranny to practicality.
What one may desire in the past is not necessarily what one desires now..
