Australian Outback
As you enter the next area of the Zoo you are greeted by the familiar sight of the Red Kangaroo and Emu. The exhibit is open and grassy with some trees for shade at the back.
Next you come to and enclosure for Western Grey Kangaroo and Malleefowl. It is open with some shrubs at the back.
Then there is an Aviary for Common Myna. And a vivarium for Cane Toad.
After that the path comes to a building.
It contains a indoor viewing for Short-beaked Echidna, Greater Bilby a d Common Wombat. The enclosures are open and sandy with burrows and shrubs.
Contained in the building is Bearded Dragon, Frilled Lizard, Blue-tongued Skink, Thorny Devil, Black-headed Python, Desert Death Adder and Tuatara.
In the Wallaby Walk Through there is Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby, Parma Wallaby, Red-necked Wallaby and Tammar Wallaby. The enclosure is large with a big cliff for three Rock Wallabies.
 
Papua New Guinea House
This house is relatively small with only a few exhibits in it.
The first is a walkthrough enclosure housing Matschie's Tree Kangaroo and Common Spotted Cuscus. It also contains indoor viewing for the New Guinea Singing Dogs.

This is a good exhibit and I like the inclusion of cane toads. I also like the addition of a walk through area for wallabies. I forgot to mention in the South America exhibit the inclusion of the vicunas. You can't find those in North American zoos.
 
Thanks.
I have only been to one zoo which holds the Vicuna. (Les Sables Zoo in France) Which is the enclosure I copied (mixed with Tapir, Capybara, Rhea and Black-necked Swan)

I might as well start a new zoo. I hope you all like it.

Las Vegas Zoo and Aquarium

As the name suggests, this zoo would be in Las Vegas. You start off at the entrance of the zoo. On either side of you, there will be a gift shop and major restaurant serving all kinds of food. Within this plaza is a group of 10:10 Caribbean Flamingos. Behind this exhibit is the Major Building, separated into four areas, which contains the zoo's reptile and amphibian collection in one section, freshwater fish in the next, animals from the Arctic and Antarctic Circle in the third area, and Amazonian animals in the final area.

Further description of this building will come soon.

I hope this building has lots of walruses
 
About Las Vegas Zoo and Aquarium:

Las Vegas Zoo and Aquarium opened in 2017. Situated on 100 km2 of land, it is the largest zoo in the world. This land was purchased for $1 billion in 1999. Development began shortly after I bought the land. Visitors can walk or ride around the zoo in complimentary personal vehicles. This zoo will be an important place since it will breed many endangered species. Think of any popular species. It will be here, within 100 km2 of land.
Major Building description will come later today.
-:cool::cool:TheWalrus:cool::cool:
 
The Major Building:
This is the second-largest building in the zoo (after the aquarium). It has four sections:
Reptile and Amphibian Complex:
You start off in a lush area with habitats that suit each species. This 250 m2 area contains more than 50 species of reptile and amphibian species, as follows:
Amphibians: Chinese and Japanese giant salamanders, Axolotl, Bombay caecilian, Goliath bullfrog, Cane toad, tomato frog, golden mantella, golden and blue poison dart frogs, Wyoming toad, Mountain chicken, Red-eyed tree frog, and wood frog.
Reptiles: American and Chinese alligators, Cuban crocodile, Philippine crocodile, Freshwater crocodile, African slender snouted crocodile, American crocodile, False gharial, Indian gharial, Aldabra giant tortoise, Ploughshare tortoise, Burmese star tortoise, Alligator snapping turtle, Radiated tortoise, Big-headed turtle, Blanding's turtle, Wood turtle, Fly River turtle, Spiny turtle, Four-eyed turtle, Green iguana, Frilled lizard, Philippine sailfin lizard, Blue-tounged skink, New Caledonian giant gecko, Thorny devil, Armadillo girded lizard, Panther and Jackson's chameleons, Argentine black-and-white tegu, African rock python, Reticulated python, Green anaconda, King cobra, Inland taipan, Boomslang, Monocled cobra, Western diamondback rattlesnake, Black mamba, Death adder, Western coral snake, European adder, and Tuatara.
Note: all animals are 1:1 and in separate enclosures for safety. Total species count: 57.
Polar Expedition:
The building then gets cold, really cold. You then realize that you are in the Far North and South areas of the world. This area has mostly mammals, with penguins and seabirds as the only non-mammal species. The 1750 m2 area is organized as follows:
Arctic Circle:
Exhibit 1: 1:1 Polar Bear
Exhibit 2: 1:3 Pacific Walrus
Exhibit 3: 1:1 Harp seal, bearded seal, ringed seal and hooded seal.
Exhibit 4: 10:10 Atlantic puffin, tufted puffin, razorbill, and common murre.
Antarctic Circle:
Exhibit 1: 10:10 Emperor penguin, Gentoo penguin, king penguin, macaroni penguin, and southern rockhopper penguin.
Exhibit 2: 1:2 Southern elephant seal.
Exhibit 3: 1:1 Wandering albatross.
Exhibit 4: 5:5 Crabeater seal and Weddel seal.
Exhibit 5: 1:1 Leopard seal.
At the end of the hallway, there is a set of stairs leading to the freshwater fish and Amazon areas. More information on these areas will come within the next week.
One question, are you able to get recently extinct animals (extinct for less than 500 years)?

Once you reach the second floor, you notice an array of aquariums, and a sign, held onto a tube of flowing water, which says:
Lakes and Rivers of the World.
In this section, you would go along and see many fish species from around the world, organized as follows:
Tank 1, Lake Malawi: 20 species of ciclids endemic to the lake. 10:10 for each ciclid.

Tank 6, Murray-Darling River: 5:5 Murray cod, Murray perch, freshwater catfish, trout cod, and barramundi. Total species count for all tanks: 39.
Once you leave the serenity of the small aquarium, you are greeted to a humid area by the loud chirps of many bird species. A sign welcomes you to this South American themed area:
Wild Amazon.
The roof here is made of glass, allowing light to shine in like it would in the rain forest. Many free-flight birds can be found here in 2 separated areas, including:
Area 1 free-flight birds: Scarlet ibis, Roseate spoonbill, Yellow-naped Amazon, Blue-cheeked Amazon, Lear's macaw, Spix's macaw, Scarlet macaw, Blue-and-yellow macaw, Red-and-green macaw, and Sun parakeet.

Note: all bird are in groups of 4:4.
There are also some exhibits separated from the parrots as well. You will notice that the exhibits for herbivorous animals have perches for the birds to rest on. The rest of the exhibits here are as follows from the visitor's perspective:

The next section of Kipling's Jungle: The Waingunga River

The next area is reached by crossing a bridge over a small pond. On the audio tour, Bagheera is joined by Scarlett Johansson as Kaa the python. They exchange a few brief, tense words where Kaa implies she wants to eat the visitors, but Bagheera reminds her of the Law of the Jungle, and Kaa directs them to the first exhibit; a large, netted aviary containing a flock of Greater Flamingo and Cattle Egret. Flamingos appear in the Third Jungle Book, and there are a few Cattle Egrets in the remake. (I'm fairly certain there are a lot of waterbird species in the third Jungle Book, I'll have to look up my copy and edit this in the future).

Around to the right of the aviary, a large lowered paddock for the world's largest species of bovid is separated from the visitors by an invisible dry moat. There are three Gaur in total, two females and a bull. Interestingly, Gaur are not mentioned and don't appear in any prominent Jungle Book media ecept one story in the Third Jungle Book, where Mowgli pulls one out of a marsh with the reluctant help of Bagheera and Kaa. The two characters reminisce about this on the audio tour.

At the end of the path there is another aviary, slightly smaller than the one at the entrance. It contains only four birds: a pair of Sarus Cranes (the Third Jungle Book) and a pair of Adjutant Storks (The Undertakers).

Around a bend in the path the visitors are lead to a series of three underwater viewing areas separated by fake rock, with land areas just visible at the back. The first is for a family of Smooth-coated Otters, such as the ones who help Mowgli kill Jacala the crocodile in the Third Jungle Book. The next is a mixed exhibit for a pair of Gharial and a small group of Indian Flapshell Turtles, both species get a brief mention in the Second Jungle Book. The last tank is the largest and is for a single Mugger Crocodile ('Jacala'). Around the side of the tanks the path leads the guests up to a raised viewing platform where they can view each of these exhibits from above.

To the left side of the path is the final exhibit of the area for a small herd of Asian Water Buffalo (probably the Domestic species, but ideally the wild). The buffalo belonging to the people of the man-village play an important role in the story: Mowgli uses them to help kill Shere Khan, and the stampede scene in the 2016 movie is a reference to this. Another sign explains the cultural and agricultural importance of water buffalo to the people of India.

The path approaches a building covered in foliage with a glass roof, and Kaa leaves the audio tour after promising to make a reappearance later (the python exhibit is further on). The guests open the door of the building to enter the Middle Jungle.

(I know this one was kind of a dud, hopefully the next might be a bit more exciting!)
 
I really like the idea of having a Jungle Book theme for an entire biogeographical area of a zoo. You've got your ABCs in the form of tigers, elephants, monkeys, ungulates, and then your supporting cast of smaller mammals, birds, and reptiles; and as a concept it is easily grasped by most zoo visitors, probably making it easier to introduce conservation messages into it and having them retained.

I'll say it again. Can this go in instead of the Avatar area at Disney's Animal Kingdom?
 
African Safari:
The pathway going to the left (there are 5 pathways) leads to African Safari. This area is devoted to African wildlife. After pulling up to the parking lot of this section, you notice an African village, which is where the pathway starts. This village has a petting zoo, gift shop and restaurant. African Safari has 5 main parts: the Sahara, the Congo Rain Forest, the Horn of Africa, the Okavango Delta and the Malagasy Rain Forest.

I figured I would give this a go
My Zoo Part 1
The zoo would be named "World of Wildlife Zoo"
My Zoo would be located in Lincolnshire due to the large open space and really nice weather.

Main Entrance and Gift Shop
The main entrance will have a large statue of a tiger out front and the gate will have the zoo logo engraved with large letters on in with small statues of songbirds on top of the gate.

The first animals that will be available to see will be a medium sized herd of Red Deer that would consist of two stags and about ten doe in the paddock.The deer will be kept on grass to allow them to graze and will also be provided with browse as well.During certain times of the year the deer will have access to mud wallows created by the keepers.

Monkey House
Various species of monkeys will be housed here from the following list
Cotton Top Tamarin
Pygmy Marmoset
Proboscis Monkey
Chacma Baboon
Buffy Headed Capuchin
Sulawesi Crested Macaque
Barbary Macaque
King Colobus Monkey
Red Titi Monkey
De Brazza's Monkey
Lion Tailed Macaque


The African species will be the first animals to be seen,followed by the Asian,South American and finally the Barbary Macaques which will have signage explaining their status as being Europes only wild primate species.

The smaller Marmosets will co-habit with the Tamarins.The enclosures will have plenty of climbing opportunities for all primates especially with the rainforest dwelling species.The Chacma Baboons would be mainly housed on a dark earth sandy substrate and have a large artificial dead tree to climb on.Barbary Macaques will have a sandy,forested style to their exhibit.

All animals will have access to both indoor and outdoor enclosures which I will cover next.

Monkey house outdoors.
All species will have moats with water in the keep them secure as this is standard for most zoos that do this.The Chacma Babbons will have and open savannah style exhibit with plenty of artificial dead trees to climb around and allows the the keepers to place enrichment.The rainforest dwelling species will have a more lush type environment and the more Aboreal species will have more climbing opportunities.The outdoor exhibit for the Barbary Macaques will slightly resemble cliffs and forested areas.

The animals will be kept in groups of between 7 and 18 individuals.

Part 2 will be coming soon.
