Niiiiice! I wish León had a zoo.

@SivatheriumGuy Glad you like it!
Any suggestions of a town anywhere in dire need of a zoological collection? Bremen comes to mind, I just don't know what could make it stand out among all the other German greats. Within Spain, Bilbao/Pamplona and Mérida comes to mind, so if you'd like to make some suggestions about those or more, please by all means do so.

@JigerofLemuria We are in desperate need of zoos in the Basque Capitals... All of them work.

@SivatheriumGuy Then I'll get working on that. Any suggestions on what species/approaches could give them a fresh touch? Feel free to PM me to give them if you wish!
