Create an exhibit for a prehistoric animal

Once entering the Sauropod Heights, you could see on one side cast fields with grazing Stegosaurus and browsing Brachiosauruses. The path leads you down, to a level on the other side, where you can get up close with Apatosauruses and Brontosaurus. In the grasses, if your eye is keen enough, you can also spot Dryosaurus hopping about.
I was wondering what to do for this so I just came up with this. Next one please.

Nice exhibit how about Styxosaurus

A huge area of the park, be it a saltwater harbour or an artificial lake with appropriate saline level, also including four maintenance tanks attached, would be designated for four creatures from the Western Interior Seaway:
- 1.1 Styxosaurus snowii
- 2.2 Dolichorhynchops osborni
- 1.1 Archelon ischyros
- 4.4 Hesperornis regalis
The animals would have an adaptation process to each other, first being held in their respective off-show maintenance tanks, with the eventual goal of having all four animal types coexisting in the giant pool. Said habitat would have its walls furnished with mock rock, with a sandy bottom, occasionally broken up by rocky outcrops, including several little round quartz-rich stones, ranging from the size of olive seeds to that of ping-pong balls, which the plesiosaurs would likely swallow as gastroliths. A healthy population of smaller sea animals would also inhabit this habitat; sea cucumbers cleaning the sand below, and swarms of moon jellyfish and larger schools of bluefish would be allowed to prosper, fed with a generous amount of zooplankton administered by the staff. Such plankton would also feed populations of bivalves on the sea floor, and squid would swim around too, feeding on some of the blue fish. Hence, a true habitat is created, with the smaller animals feeding the larger ones. Two visitor viewpoints would be available; one from a wooden balcony above the surface, with a sandy beach, adorned with a couple of cycads, where the Hesperornis roost and the Archelon lay their eggs on the left, and there would also be an underwater plexiglass tunnel below, five meters of the total thirty deep, with an conveyor belt-like automated ramp so that the guests can just stand and watch while they're taken on a nicely paced journey. A large window would also be present just below the balcony, with the entrance to the tunnel on the left and the exit on the right.
Next species please?

I love prehistoric animals, and I already do this in my spare time, so I'd like to request a species.

Awesome, your species is Plateosaurus

A moderately large paddock, plus a large barn, would form an enclosure for a group of 1.2 Plateosaurus engelhardti; surrounded by a fence of sturdy steel beams connected by wires, the outdoor area would be abundantly planted with very tall cycads (Encephalartos altensteinii), with a decent undergrowth of ferns and horsetails surrounding them. A moat would border one side of the enclosure, with a modest slope to a watering hole on the animals' side, and an abrupt cliff separating them from the guests, on top of which a balcony would be built to provide the guests with the best view of the sauropodomorphs. Should temperatures get cold, these can always stay in the large barn, which is equipped with a glass roof to allow sunshine in for natural warmth. It's also provided with a fence, similarly to outside, but with some small doors present so that the keepers can check their physical condition, similarly to elephants.
Next species please? I can take care of Amphicyon, if you wish.
 
Toxodon Territory


When you enter the exhibit,you will come across a wooden post sign with the words *Toxodon Territory* engraved into the sign.As you leave the sign and enter the game trail you are now surrounded by various South American grasses and plants as you turn to the left and then to the right before making a final left turn before the first exhibit can be seen.A small open paddock for which visitors can look out at from a large wooden platform with a thatched roof above it.Here herds of 1.4.0 Stout-legged llamas and 1.2.0 Hippidions and a single pair of 1.1.0 Crested screamers (for which have a area the birds can escape to just in case if the other animals in the exhibit get a little to aggressive) for which all can be found in this first paddock.Eventually you turn to the right and you return to the pampas grass trail where the next exhibit is not too far away.Soon a smaller identical version of the first viewing platform is only a few steps ahead of you and after making a right towards the viewing platform and passing through a chain-link double door system,it is here that the exhibit that your looking out at is home to a rather peculiar creature along some various birds thus this is why the exhibit resembles an aviary.Here a single 0.1.0 Common Glyptothere peacfully coexists with 3.4.0 Buff-necked ibis,2.2.0 Rufous ovenbird and 3.4.0 Saffron finch all coexist within the aviary/Glyptothere exhibit.After exiting the aviary-like exhibit you make a left and walking for quite some time a medium-sized exhibit comes into view and thus it is home to a pair of 1.1.0 Giant Anteater.After passing the anteater exhibit,you begin to make a left and after walking past various signs planted in the ground near the pathway.You come across the largest exhibit in the complex.A very large open exhibit with a small watering hole near the fence line with many opportunities to graze for the exhibit’s three inhabitants.Here you can look out at the exhibit from again a larger identical version of the first two viewing platforms we have seen before but here it is something else.Here a small herd of 0.3.1 Toxodon* along with a flock of 2.3.0 Greater Rheas,5.5.0 Fulvous whistling ducks,3.2.0 White-cheeked pintails and a herd of 1.3.2 Chacoan Peccaries all coexist within this expansive mixed-species habitat.With two smaller off-show areas that the Rheas and Peccaries can escape to just in case if the Toxodons get a little too aggressive for their smaller neighbors to handle.After passing by the exhibit you will come across a small pocket exhibit with a thin-mesh roof for which a family of 1.2.0 Nine-banded armadillos and 3.3.0 Elegant-created tinamou (for which the latter have thier own off-show area) successfully coexist.After the passing by the pocket exhibit you come across the last exhibit in the complex.A small exhibit resembling a dry riverbed is the respective home for a family of 0.1.2 Pampas cats which rotate the exhibit between a male (the kittens father).Soon after passing by the final exhibit.You walk through the trail for a short while before you begin to climb up a small incline and when you reach the top of the incline.You are back to the entrance to where you started the trail and thus your journey through Toxodon Territory is over.


Also I will not take anymore animals on this post for I wanted this to be my last time posting on this specific forum.

Thank you for your understanding.

You can do amphicyon

Sorry for the delay. Amphicyon it is!
The enclosure would be rather large, about the size of an excellent polar bear enclosure, for a 1.1 pair of Amphicyon major, and would sport similar barriers; a tall mock-rock wall with a couple of large plexiglas windows breaking it up, allowing the guests to view the mighty dogs. The space would be sparsely furnished with some tall cedar trees, some large, climbable boulders, and some sparse bushes, all on a plain of hard, dry soil covered in tall grass, only broken up by a smallish pond towards the middle of the paddock. A side of the mock-rock wall would feature a little door that leads the inhabitants to their inner quarters; a strong, private construction, with its ground covered in straw and other soft vegetal material, along with a little water spout for them to drink from. Although sometimes they get fed directly in said indoors, a zipline hangs over the enclosure, and large pieces of meat and bone, like the legs of cattle, would be zipped down, encouraging them to leap for their meal on occasion, giving them some much needed enrichment. Other forms will be provided with large, chewable rubber balls, buoys tied to ropes and other such commodities.
Next animal please?
