Hello, I submit you the list of possible themes for my spec zoo thread in June 2024. You can choose up to 3 zoos, but you shouldn't change your votes, so it would be better to choose your favourite themes carefully. All the zoos will be located in France, in the absence of opposite mentions...

Hello, I've been practically absent from the speculative zoo subforum for months, but I would like to present a project of speculative zoo in the former place of Mirapolis, in France. I must give you a few explanations about the strange context of this place, that is probably the biggest...

Hello, and welcome to my presentation for one of my many, many fantasy zoos, although I am only allowing myself to do this singular one after much contemplation. Zoológico e jardins do World Conservation Center (World Conservation Center Zoo and Gardens) This zoo, based in the city of Viana...

Hi, and welcome to my new spec zoo project. My initial spec zoo (Tchentlo Lake Zoo (My Dream Zoo)) met its downfall due to my lack of research and realism in its design. However, ZooSC at Myrtle Beach will be much more researched and as realistic as possible. So let's get started shall we...

In a similar vein to @KevinB and @OstrichMania, I wanted to create my own personal thread where I could just simply post zoo and aquarium concepts and exhibit ideas without feeling a level of personal confinement to stick to one sole project. Over the past few months, I have attempted to make an...

Historically, zoo animals have been exhibited in taxonomic fashion. Partly for ease of care, partly for zoos having a "stamp collecting" mentality. More recently, we've had zoogeographic exhibits: which can be wonderfully educative, but are often repetitive across zoos. "Asian temple", "Amazon...

Hi, and welcome! My spec zoo is a rather sizeable institute on the coast of British Columbia’s Tchentlo Lake. The region is mostly conifers, but every now and again some of our outdoor habitats have been planted with more… suitable, shall I say, plant life for the region it’s inhabitants can be...

Hello, do you have some advices (about the animal collection, the theme, the exhibits, the general layout) for a speculative project dedicated to turn an abandoned theme park into a zoo? Historically the park was large (ca. 50 ha) and themed on French folklore, it was divided in 7 or 8 zones...

Hello, after a couple of months of absence in the Speculative Zoo forum, I'm back with the main project of the 2022 year, based on a refurbishment of the Réserve de la Haute Touche. Before the description of the park and its exhibits I have to explain the context of this park. It's a very...

A rough layout for Ketcham Park Zoo. It isn't the best, but it looks pretty easy to build in Planet Zoo. Exhibit Guide: 1. Andean Condor 2. Steller's Sea Eagle (There is also a Crocodile Monitor in the ZooStore).

Hey everyone! As many of you may know, this is my first time ever doing something like this. In fact, I've never actually posted any real content in this subforum nor the old Fantasy Zoo subforum. I just like to pop in every once in a while and read others' threads and give feedback so I'm very...
