That 49,000 sq. ft. is without the wild dog exhibit and holding dens. The holding area for all the animals that will be part of phase 4 and 5 will be located left of the cheetah encounter and behind the wild dogs and after looking at the map there is about 12,000 sq. ft. left for that. I don't really know what exhibits you are referring to, based on the subject of this conversation, these exhibits are less than a year old.

The hippo exhibits and their sizes. Some are over a decade old. So, they're stuffing hippo holding and lss behind dog? Interesting. There's no way there's over an acre left after dog on that side. Did you add on an extra 29,000 sq. ft.(joking). After the paths and viewing areas, croc exhibit and holding, you actually think the actual area within the hippo exhibit will be 10,000 sq. ft.? With 10,000 sq. ft. as the base within the barriers of the actual exhibit, what do you think the over-under will be? I'll pick under 3,000 sq. ft. for my guess. The exhibit will be build for animals of the same-sex, too. Unless they have both sexes and stuff it like their infield of a baseball field-sized giraffe exhibit. Yes, the giraffe exhibit is larger, but not in the ways of a great exhibit. Africa will fall flat. Kudos on the green building aspects, but boo on the animal display.

I really, really don't understand where you are coming up with this but three certain members have taught me not to go into conversation like this. After all, it's only a zoo. Lastly there most likely won't even be crocodiles. They haven't been mentioned on the zoo's website or mentioned at all other than the map that was created 2 years. Rumored animals have been mentioned more than them. I wouldn't even have a problem with them being there. Busch Gardens amazing Nile Crocodile exhibit is only 2,000 sq. ft. and many others seem to agree.

And I know you said you were kidding about me adding space, but here's all the remaining space: hippos, wild dogs, and future holding areas.

Does that highlighted area include Dog? Is that the actual barrier where Savanna ends? Don't get it twisted. I'm not starting a fight. Not even breaking a sweat. Just curious about it. In the end, they're just opinions. Thane and his cronies will do what they wish.

Yes, that's the exact point where the Plains fence is and yes that includes the dogs.
I don't see what capitalism has to do with this?... I'm all for the system but why try to insult a great man?

Good to know. Where did capitalism come from? If you're referencing cronies, you took it the wrong way.

There are two definitions of 'crony', a close companion, and there's crony capitalism (a derogatory term) where an economy relies on businesses, and government. The second definition obviously has nothing to do with your comment but based on your opinions on the zoo, I mistakingly thought you were insulting their director.
 
G
Sorry, but you assumed wrong. Cronies was meant as close friends and companions. He obviously sits down with the heads of departments/areas, and other people involved with daily zoo activities for planning meetings along with designers, architects, etc.
