Indian Dry forest: Indian peafowl are free-range throughout the area. We start with a netted cage shared by langur and rhesus monkeys. Next is a large, wooded mixed-species habitat of chital, Indian crested porcupines, nilgai, and sambar. Overlooking it are two carnivore habitats with Bengal tigers and dholes rotated between them. Both include ancient temple ruins. There is also a pond in each that the tigers can swim in. Next is a fishing cat habitat, with a waterfall cascading into a pool with underwater viewing where guests can watch the felines catch live fish. Across, a forested exhibit displays sloth bears. Finally, we enter the reptile house/nocturnal building. The herps on display include two kinds of large python, mugger crocodiles, who have the largest indoor exhibit, king cobras, Indian chameleons, and three species of frog and toad, among others. Finally, the nocturnal section has flying foxes and three kinds of owl. Learning goals include how we can help save the many endangered species of this region.
 
Western Ghats: a towering netted cage starts off the area, where crested hawk-eagles can freely fly. Similar, although smaller habitats house hornbills, giant squirrels, and lion-tailed macaques. Then, a large paddock is called home by the zoo's gaur herd. Finally, the habitat of the largest land animal in Asia comes into view. The Asian elephants are split between two massive areas, one for females and calves and the other for bulls. Both have large pools to swim in and plenty of other enrichment to keep the pachyderms occupied. The indoor areas are also roomy to keep them stimulated during the winter. Visitors will learn how these animals are declining in the wild because of human activity and how they can help.
 
North Indian Wetlands: open-billed and painted storks share a pond habitat. Next, an enclosure with sunning rocks and a pool with underwater viewing is home to gharials. Finally, Indian rhinos have a large, grassy paddock, complete with several mud wallows and pools to cool off in. Signs tell how these animals, especially the critically endangered gharials are at risk of extinction due to humans, and how to help.
 
Sumatra: we start off with a walk-through aviary. Cave swiftlets, Salvadori's pheasants, Sundra robins, drongos, and green pigeons fly around guests. Included is a path through an artificial cave, where visitors can see the swiftlet's nesting area. After they come out, a mixed-species exhibit is shared by Malayan tapirs, muntjacs, and pig-tailed macaques. Across is a habitat for sun bears that includes a waterfall cascading into a pool. A water monitor enclosure with underwater viewing is located nearby. We then step into the nocturnal building. Two species of fruit bat, two species of owl, binturongs, clouded leopards, slow loris, and Sunda pangolins (which I forgot to include on my list) are displayed here. The binturongs and clouded leopards also have adjacent outdoor areas. Finally, Sumatran orangutans and two species of gibbon share a large, moated habitat with many climbing structures. There is also a large indoor habitat available for viewing. Signs tell how the forests of Sumatra and the rest of Indonesia and its wildlife is being destroyed by humans and how to help by actions as simple as buying only sustainable palm oil products.
 
This is my super cool ideas for my zoo. Most of what I cover is zoo exhibit design. I consider everything from paths to flora options to what materials are being used and even ware the average zoo visitor stands at to view the exhibit . This zoo will take you around the world. some of the things are new ideas and concepts from me others are common place in most zoos. my original idea was to post one huge pdf but this would be too long and i switched to Microsoft word from open office. The two post are from open office which I was having issues with so I had to use two different files. These are the entrance and part of the wilderness. so grab a bag of popcorn or other favorite snack (this is still a long read). Welcome to the Grand Prairie Zoo

The Borgud Zoo (This is in the USA):

The zoo will be divided into 9 sections:
  • South America
  • North America
  • Europe
  • Asia
  • Arctic
  • Antarctica
  • Africa
  • Madagascar
  • Australasia and New Zealand
 
The Entrance:
The entrance won't include any animal exhibits but it does contain a variety of plant life as we hired gardeners to work on our gardens. There is a huge plaza straight in front of you which includes a restaurant called the Ho Fame which means 'I am hungry' in Italian, seating areas for guests to have a relax, a fountain in the middle of a ostrich, statues around of various animals, a conservational garden to attract pollinators and other insects and a large space for animal encounter and birds of prey shows. On the left to the entrance is a gift shop holding souvenirs including wristbands (Good for Paul and Lynsey!), keychains, plushies and figurines. On the right is a admission booth and guest services booth. There is also an office right next to the guest services for lost children and lost and found items. In the summer we have a dinosaur invasion and the entrance is where a brachiosaurus amanatronic is kept.

4-D theater
Kid's Splash Zone
Stingray Touch-Pool
Outdoor Amphitheatre (for education animal demonstrations)
Petting Zoo
 
African Heat (African Savanna):
Note: I have removed Nile Hippo from this part of the zoo and removed Lycaon due to me not knowing that it also meant African Wild Dog.
Note 2: If an animal has a star after it's name, that means that it was not on the list but I added it.
Note 3: Every animal has a off-show area for privacy.

Scavenger Shelter: The first area you enter is the African Heat and the first landmark of this area is Scavenger Shelter. As you enter, there is a net to the left side of you. This exhibit contains Ruppell's Vulture. Diagonal to the vulture exhibit is a large, field exhibit for Black-Backed Jackal. Another netted enclosure directly in front of the person is home to Marabou Storks and African Black-Backed Vultures. Though this enclosure is their secondary exhibit. The main enclosure is a big field enclosure similar to the Jackal's enclosure but a little bit bigger. Then the visitor enters the nursery which means that the visitors can see baby vultures, storks, jackals and hyenas as we take care of babies that can't be released back into the wild. This opens into a corridor where there is hyena calls coming from speakers. Then it opens into the indoor enclosure for the main attraction, Spotted Hyena. The exit leads into the outdoor enclosure which is about twice the size of the jackal enclosure. The exit to this area leads to the Small Animals Area.

Next: Small Wonders (Small Animal Area)
 
New Guinea: four terrariums of various size, containing Amethystine, carpet, and green tree pythons, and pig-nosed turtles respectively, greet visitors when they step into the building. The pythons all have branches to climb on and the Amethystines and turtles have pools, the latter having underwater viewing. Next, an enormous bird cage displays greater, king, lesser, Raggiana, and twelve-wired birds of paradise, Papuan lorikeets, and Victoria crowned pigeons. Sulphur-crested cockatoos are displayed across the hall. Right next door is an enclosure shared by the three mammal species, with tree kangaroos and cuscus clambering over branches while echidnas forage on the ground beneath them. A towering free-flight habitat is home to a pair of Papuan eagles. The final indoor enclosure is a huge saltwater crocodile habitat, with a beach for sunning on and a big, deep pool with an underwater viewing window. When you step outside, a wooded yard displays cassowaries that includes a pool they can soak in. As always, signs deliver the important message about conservation.
