exhibits

Let's start the new Tierpark year with a look back at some of last year's highlights: I hope they'll publish an official outlook on 2024 shortly, but for now that's what I am looking forward to: 1) The Asia enclosure likely will open this Spring (Asian Small-Clawed Otters, Babirusas, Black...

Hall of Indian Wildlife under construction.

Hello, everyone. I've decided to create this thread based on the fact there is a huge zoo-building community in Minecraft! I've noticed not so many people have been talking about the game on this platform, so I thought it'd be nice to chat up a bit about it. Furthermore, I really need some...

Most of interesting stuff in zoos happens backstage. It is there where many rare animals are bred in privacy, where research takes place and keepers work and toil with animals. Most zoos aim to hide everyday work, and show facade of entertainment and fake nature. But visitors are very...

I was fascinated by this photo of baboons at Cabarceno, which could well be on a rocky outcrop in Africa: What photos in the gallery fascinate you, because they could be taken in the wild? To make it more difficult, the photo should: - Show quite a lot of surroundings (so not just an animal...

What exhibits you know where animals can walk / rest over visitors heads? - Are they popular and justify the cost of building them? - What is good and what could be improved? I toyed with two fictional exhibits. One is a fictional polar bear exhibit crossed by a visitor path inside a fake...

I really enjoy natural history museums and the old school exhibits within them specifically the wildlife mounts whether in dioramas or not. I think animal mounts can continue to educate visitors in museums because for those of us who have seen specimens up close in person in a museum or in a zoo...

If you love Politics and Zoos like me you probably love Panda Diplomacy, It might be bad for zoos' futures but it's really interesting so I was curious what Zoos use to have Pandas (since it's easy to find what zoos currently have them) If you could please attach a photo of there Exhibit (If...

I have noticed that, at least in North America, there is a lack of some types of exhibits. For example, there are barely any exhibits focused on Asia other than China and Southeast Asia, with practically none for the Middle East or South Asia. Within aquaria, there are barely any seagrass...

In pretty much every Zoo I visited, even modern and big exhibits, great apes have no acces to trees, they are either weired, to stop the apes to climb on them, or are not even present. My question is why. (With few exeptions like the Gorilas exhibit in Apenheul) Zoos don't give them acces...

Are there any zoos which have areas themed around Europe? This is tricky, since most of the fauna is very similar to or literally the same species of those of North America, but I think focusing on specific regions could work. I myself have imagined exhibits themed around the chalk downs of...

Does anyone know what these "gates" made of hanging plastic strands, that zoo's use in houses with free roaming animals, are called?

I know that this may become an intense topic of discussion based on people's differing opinions...but I thought maybe it would be a fun idea to sort of poll the top zoos in Europe not based on current statistics (TripAdvisor's lists for example) but purely on the facilities, species diversity...

As the Henry Doorly Zoo's new African Grasslands opened to the public today and several new "savannas" have opened up across the country, I thought it would be interesting to see what the consensus best exhibit there is. Personally, of the ones that I have seen, I am partial to ones at Kansas...

Hi everyone Hope you can help. I'm a journalist trying to find out which are the most exciting and innovative zoo exhibits in Britain and Ireland. As resources and time don't allow me to visit them all for myself (sadly!), I'm relying on websites and press officers at the moment, but what...

Marwell has changed so much over the past 30 old years since it opened. Species come and species leave the zoo. Exhibits gone to make way for new ones. I was just wondering if you had any imformation on old exhibits or animals marwell used to have. Add your old favourite too! :)

OK bettors, prognosticators, speculators and debaters: START YOUR ENGINES! The Nominees are: Cheetah Run (Busch Gardens Tampa) Ecosystems, California Science Center (California Science Center) African Elephant Crossing (Cleveland Metroparks Zoo) Monarca del Desierto Jaguar Exhibit ( The...

Just for fun I've been monkeying around with my own "Master Plan" for future development of the Tulsa Zoo (my "home" zoo). I'd posted it previously but have continued to make changes, so thought I would post the latest version for any comments/criticisms/etc. I have no official relationship with...
