Nice exhibit how about sauropelta
Click to expand...
A large-ish paddock would be set up with a double-barrier; an inner one made of steel beams, each 50cm apart, and an outer chain link fence; the former holds back a pair of Sauropelta edwardsorum, while the latter helps further contain a group of about 2:4 Aquilops americanum, which have a sizeable section of the paddock to themselves, in case the larger ankylosaurs prove to be a bit more high-strung than expected. The overall look would be rather densely forested, with tall gingkos and pines providing shade, and an abundant underbrush of ferns offering both food and cover. A well-sized basking pond would decorate the front of the enclosure, surrounded with horsetails, while the back of the enclosure, near the shelter, would feature large rock formations which melt into the mock-rock barn for the animals to sleep in. Such indoor holdings would be split into two, with small doors allowing only the Aquilops to enter their quarters; each place would have a trough for water, while food would be provided on a large bowl or trey, and sometimes in enrichment items; even a walnut-brained sauropelta will have fun ripping a leaf-filled sack hung from a tree asunder to get at the goods.
Next one please?

I like the exhibit your next species is Stegosaurus

This enclosure would accompany @amur leopard 's Morrison Formation enclosures.
Four paddocks (one huge, one large, two smaller) would altogether form a mixed enclosure of sorts, for they would all be walled off by a difference in elevation and rather large boulders piled up together (similarly to the barriers the giraffe enclosure at the Barcelona Zoo has); said artificial rock formations would impede larger animals from leaving these paddocks, but would allow, through means of narrow passages, the flowing movement of smaller creatures, which would have their own sort of habitat on the elevated borders of the other paddocks. The animals herein contained are;
2.3 Brachiosaurus altithorax in the huge paddock
3.3 Stegosaurus stenops in the large paddock
2.4 Camptosaurus dispar in one of the lesser paddocks
3.3 Gargoyleosaurus parkpinorum in the other lesser paddock
7.7 Dryosaurus altus would be free to roam between the paddocks, they themselves being kept in by a wooden pole fence.
The elevated area separating the main paddocks would be deeply forested, mainly with Araucaria sp. trees, and a deep undergrowth of ferns, while the areas for the giant herbivores, whilst benefitting from some shade from these forested borders, would be a lot more open-ended, with perhaps a couple of trees planted here and there and mock termite nests built out of clay providing some more natural surroundings. Each enclosure would also be provided with a significant body of water which, while shallow, would provide each of the large herbivores ample chances to bathe in, as well as drink from. The soil covering the enclosures, while mostly firm and impermeable, would have (in each one) a section that would become muddy in wet weather, providing a mud wallow in certain conditions. The Brachiosaurus paddock would also be given a significantly huge artificial tree from which food would be suspended; should the budget run low, a standard mobile crane (those used to build tall urban buildings) would suffice. Enrichment objects, such as scratching posts and feeder balls would also be present in the paddocks. In terms of indoor holdings, each paddock would connect to its own stable; a monstrously tall one, like a giraffe house x3 would be obviously provided for the sauropods in this complex, while the others would have more elephantine/rhino-like stables. The Dryosaurus would also have a stable, with more antelopine proportions, at their disposal.

Awesome your next species is the American Cheetah

1.1 American cheetahs (Miracinonyx trumani) would dwell a rather extensive paddock, similar to those given to African and Asian cheetahs in most zoos. It's slightly hilly but mostly flat, rather arid, partially covered in grass, dotted with large rocks and sage bushes, with two Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia), providing the cats with some cover. A smallish stream and pond would also be present, as well as a wooden hut that would act as their shelter, and a zip line running along the top of the enclosure from which meat would be hanged and zipped down at high speed, providing enrichment along with other, occasional toys. The enclosure would be surrounded partially by a wooden fence and completed by a steel mesh fence, both about three meters tall and topped with hot wire.

A large open grassy paddock with a tall shade structure in the middle along with various feeding trees scattered around the exhibit.The exhibit is mostly flat with almost nonexistent hills scattered along the back as well as a large moat barrier with underwater fencing for which separates the 1.2.1 Moropus elatus from guests for which can view the chalicotheres from a thatched-roof,medium sized viewing structure.

Would you like another species if so it will be Moretherium

Shasta Ground sloth
Click to expand...
A rather large enclosure would be given to a 1.1 couple of Shasta ground sloths, which would be surrounded by a tall concrete/brick wall made to imitate white clay bricks with a red pattern, inspired by native art and architecture, which goes double for the shelter which imitates a Mexican farmhouse. The landscape would be covered in rather dry, sparsely vegetated soil, mostly dotted with sage bushes and Joshua trees. Large logs and rocks would adorn the enclosure, forming a climbing structure as well as a place from which to hang enrichment objects; a rope suspending a buoy filled with carrots and (formerly peeled) prickly pear would most definitely arouse their interest. The shelter itself would have a lot of earth inside of it, as it is known that these animals liked to burrow, and would keep a rather hot and dry inner temperature.
Next species please? I can take care of the Moeritherium, if you please.

Sure you can do moeritherium

Moeritherium
Click to expand...
This is a two-part enclosure, with a larger outdoor paddock and a smaller indoor holding pen for the winter; said holding pen would incorporate a glass ceiling, a large swimming pool that would front the enclosure, giving visitors an underwater view of the animals, a muddy land area, and, camouflaged amongst the tropical greenery, a tall and rather generous network of poles and ropes forming a climbing frame. That is because these enclosures are home to both 1.1 Moeritherium andrewsi and a troop of 1.3 Apidium moustafai. The outdoor paddock would be rather like a monkey island, with the land area featuring many tall climbing structures and surrounded by a wide freshwater moat in which the Moeritherium can take a leisurely swim.
Next animal please?

This enclosure would be wholly indoor, keeping a regular temperature of around 15° and very high humidity, the land area absolutely covered in low ferns and mosses, with tree ferns emerging in a couple of places. This area would merely border a deep basin of cool freshwater, with shallower areas incorporated, as well as sunken logs and horseshoes. A waterfall would be present at the back of the enclosure, and excess water is quickly drained elsewhere, including the ceiling sprinklers which help water the plants, making the water constantly flowing and cleaned by the aid of filters. The visitors can see the 1.1 Koolasuchus cleelandi from ground level and from an underwater windrow. In a bit of black comedy, a mock Leaellynnasaura skeleton would be embedded at the bottom of the lagoon.
