Burgers' Desert - Former bighorn sheep enclosure

It's a bit of a shame to lose such a rare species, but there are plans to add new species to this exhibit. Though they haven't been revealed yet
I wonder what they could add here. The only ungulate that I could think of is a mule deer but those are non existent in European collections

I was speculating pronghorns (which are also absent from European zoos), since I think it would be too steep for deer.

There's a large chance that they're moving the peccary here, after doing a bit of a redesign on the enclosure. Though I still wonder what will come in the peccary enclosure
 
This enclosure just looks like it would be for a goat or sheep. I don’t know how a large deer or a pronghorn would properly live here. They probably wouldn’t have too many problems but a goat or sheep species would thrive in here like the bighorn sheep did.

I think they're going to partially fill in the pit at the bottom with sand to make it less of a cliff. Because otherwise there isn't anything that could possibly go there

Also: I'm fairly certain pronghorns are pretty decent climbers. Either way, we won't be getting them
 
I would love to see pronghorns in European collections i this would be an amazing place to start

Me too, I think pronghorns looks really awesome and the would look great in the desert. But sadly, the only pronghorn we'll ever have in Burgers' is the picture near the t-rex skull

Good news! Construction has started in the enclosure. The wall in front of the picture is being removed and it's being overseen by Stef (the same guy that designed the Mangrove). So something great is happening here!
