A New Idea for Zoo Designing?

Hey everyone! I've had a weekend filled with rain and Procrastination (I'll start at 5, I swear!) and I started a (very ambitious, and impossible) plan for a huge zoo, I thought about how to design it, and Google Earth gave me an idea, firstly I'd be able to learn google earth better, and secondly, it's comparatively easy, if you don't want to go into too much detail.

Zoo.kmz

So there's the link to the KML if you want to see it in action (need I say that you must have google earth installed to view?).

But basically you can use a colour scheme for different things (Sky blue for enclosure, brown for fences, White for elevated Paths ect), and the way that google earth works, is that you can just click on an enclosure, and (after you've edited it to include the data) you can see something along the lines of

"Filled with Mammals found naturally around Townsville

Properly enclosed. Fence only for containing mammals, Aves, reptiles and other species free-'flying'

$10/Tent/Night

Spotlighting tours held every night at 8:30


Species list:

4.4 Whiptail Wallaby
2.2 Eastern Grey Kangaroo
2.2 Koala
2.2 Black-striped Wallaby
1.1 Spectacled Hare-Wallaby
1.1 Rufous Bettong
20.20 Feathertail Gliders
10.10 Sugar Glider
2.2 Yellow-bellied Glider
10.10 Red-cheeked Dunnart
10.10 Fawn-footed Melomys
3.3 Water Rat"

and you can do that same things with fences and such. It also works so that you can organised it all rather well, with unlimited sub-folders.


Also, if you have downloaded it, please ignore all the spelling mistakes (and there are many) Google earth lacks a spell-check, and without that I'm screwed!!
