Inspired by an idea I had regarding the future of Sun Bear Forest, Urban Jungle, and the Bear Canyon Grottos of the San Diego Zoo — edits were made using Procreate.
Introduction
The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) has got to be arguably the most iconic and popular of all penguin species (or at least Antarctic/cold-weathered penguins). They have appeared in many media such as films like Happy Feet and Surf’s Up, then you have documentaries like March...
The new revision of this map, specifically, pays homage to the first iteration made three years ago (2021); which was one of the first detailed maps I ever posted for ZooChat.
Like Arctic Passage, this map is not affiliated with my exhibit showcase thread; but I nonetheless wanted to experiment my map-making skills with this original design.
When compared to some of my previous threads, this one doesn’t have to be taken too seriously. That being said; this thread is going to explore hypothetical possibilities that a real zoo or aquarium might announce (or not) one day as part of a future master plan. Especially, if said...
Inspired by this thread in the Singapore forum, since BSD City Zoo is rumored/slated to open next year:

This specific enclosure was made and created for my exhibit showcase thread, and was designed to highlight many of the unique animal life that calls the Pantanal their home.
Does anyone know if there are any planned refurbishments or new exhibits coming next year? I could see the monkey house being re-done as they seem to be doing a lot to that area of the zoo.
Like the previous version that I made two years ago, this so called “pocket exhibit” is a speculative complex that is mostly dedicated to the infamously iconic meerkat, along with a few animals that directly live alongside them.
With the Rembrandt Park Zoo being officially completed. I suppose that some of you might’ve been curious as to what will come next after Rembrandt’s conclusion. Knowing this, I figured that now would be the start of something new, and this thread will be exactly that. Essentially, this thread...
In the year 2000, the zoo would officially announce a multi-decade master plan that was recently approved. However, in order for the plan to successfully reach its goal. The zoo will need to make some drastic modifications:
Ever since I discovered Houston Zoo's Master Plan, https://s28164.pcdn.co/files/Strat_Plan_Book_MF_3.20.20_Web.pdf I have been obsessed with looking at it and speculating what the zoo could look like in the future. So in anticipation for my visit to the Houston Zoo's Galapagos Islands, I thought...
