cougar habitat-The cougar exhibit somewhat disapoints me.Its fairly small.I can't even tell if they have a holding depending what that is in the middle,theres no glass viewing and its all meshed in.The nice part is that there is lots of climbing and jumping oppurtunites plus a very nice cave.Maybe if they just expanded a little.Added some actual holding spaces.Covereds up the mesh with hedgings on both sides and added a nice viewing window without hotwire (thats another thing,Im hoping they abbolish all the hotwire on glass in the very near future!).Then maybe it would be a little better.Either then that its fine.Two questions,has the zoo ever bred the cougars and is that a holding in the middle,if so,whats the setup,im thinking one room catpartment,lol.
lynx habitat-The lynx are the same storey as before except this time there is no holding for sure.Even something like the cougars would work.I mean,come on...the raccoons have a holding area,the mara had a huge holding building and no one even went near there area but the lynx don't have one?I'd like the same done as the cougars but maybe just not as big.I'd also love glass.I never saw these species prior to 2005,when was this pen built?
racoon habitat-the racoon habitat is funny as they exhibit them but theres already tons scurrying around wild.They are a cool species though and they have a nice habitat except i'd love for it to be modified so that there would be a little creek with fish so they could hunt and a glass viewing area.Can the holding be viewing as its looks like theres a window?What is the holding like here?
musk oxen field-Since the musk oxen are leaving,I'd love if they turned it into a prairie type field like Meaghan suggested,or was it Quartz?Anyway...there could be pronghorn and like a little native camp with teepees that would serve as resting shelters for the pronghorn.Any others species they could put here?How many musk oxen are left and what are the names?
Grizzly Bear Habitat:The girzzlies have a some what small area.Heres my vision.The walls should be rockwork with a waterfall coming out leading into a deep stream with underwater viewing and it would PACKED with salmon and trout.Then.There could be a huge cave underground with a window looking in so that you could see what a bear cave looks like.There would also be signs about how hibernation works and a video monitor so you could watch the bears hibernating in the holding building which would be hidden from public view.The rest of the yard would have tons of trees and it would be about an acre in size.There would also be an overlook and a viewing window so you can get a close experience on dryland.The viweing could also have tons of totem poles and a geyser.What does the holding look like here
Bald Eagle Habitat:The bld eagles could also have a fairly large area with rock work instead or netting except a bit on top.They would aslo have a smaller pool stocked with fish and the would be viweing in three places.The first would be an underwater viewing window so you could see them catch fish.The next would be a tall overlook tower so you could get a high view through glass in the rockwork.The last would be a another tower on the oppsite side but this one would have a mesh window in the rock instead of glass.
Moose Paddock:The moose should have a new paddock that allows them access to a fenced of part or Weston Pond.When i say fence i mean a log fence,not mesh or chain link fence.They could have a nice wooded area a log fence view and then an observation tower overlooking the enclosure plus you could see them from the weston pond overlook.What does the holding look like and what happened to the days of having calves every spring?
Wolf Wood:The wolf woods should happen like this.They should move the entire poack to Tundra Trek and turn it into a black bear habitat.They could have rockwork innstead of mesh plus they should make a rolliing waterfall going down the hill to a pool with underwater viewing that would also have salmon.The holding would be hidden and and there would also be more glass viewing plus another observation tower.
Bison&Elk Field:The bison and elk should have real prairie grass and should also have a few rocks.The cable fence should be turned to a log fence.Not alot hopuld be done either then that except maybe they would add an observation tower (sorry about my towers,i just really like them at zoos.)
How large is the bison slash elk area as on zoo diaries it seems to have tons more yards and they make it seem liek it goes on forever.Plus,how many bison and elk are there right now,are they even breeding anymore?
Weston Pond area:The Weston pond area is very good.I'd love if they added more exhibits around the aboriginal trail like beaver and otter though and then they could turn the Americas Pavilion area where they are housed now into a new jaguar,ocelot or giant otter exhibit
Addition:Maybe add a migratory bird aviary and an education centre
