Since posting this design I have noticed I forgot one item, the elevated parts of the monkey islands, in the legend, and that I switched the numbers 4 and 5 in my previous comment.
I have now posted a description of the different exhibits in my speculative zoo design thread.
I have somewhat mixed feelings about how this project turned out. The design map didn't totally turn out as I wanted it and came off better before I processed it, parts of the finished version I just don't think I did that well on. I tried a few things that did not work out very well. And then I also made a couple errors, as noted above.
I also think that, like has also been the case for previous projects, I just tried to fit in as much as possible and made the project too big and cluttered. However I cannot and will not change the project anymore at this point and therefore will present it as it is. I am also not hugely happy with my descriptions, but I cannot really do much to change them right now.
I have for the time being not definitely decided whether I will be doing any future speculative zoo design projects or continue to engage with this part of the hobby. I do really enjoy doing it, but it also costs a lot of time and a good bit of my energy that I generally have to careful spending. If I do continue doing these I will probably have to rethink things a fair bit and make some major changes. Both the drawings and the descriptions will need a major looking at if I do decide to continue doing this part of the zoo hobby.
If anyone has any tips or ideas that could help me for future projects, please post them.
Wow - this is very complete and thorough! Great representation of all of the South American animal groups (down to the subspecies) and of course I loved all of the birds! Well done!
