I don't want to sound like i am just repeating myself over and over again but really, fantastic exhibits!
That zoo was great! I also especially like the African Giants exhibit.
What about my reptile house idea?
Pole to Pole Part 2
North America
This exhibit has the zoo's North American animals, with large rock structures, small streams, and North American foliage to recreate an American deciduous forest. The first exhibit is two waterfowl lagoons with Great Blue Heron, and Caribbean Flamingo, then two medium aviaries with rocks, brush, and a stream for Peregrine Falcon, and Magpie Robin. Next would be a wood, and stone styled building that would be a small mammal house with a group of small indoor exhibits with rocks, and plants for North American Porcupine, Raccoon, Virginia Possum, and American Badger. Outside the small mammal house is a grassy exhibit with burrows for Black-Tailed Prairie Dog. Next would be grassy paddocks with small trees and ponds for Pronghorn, Wild Boar, Elk, White-Tailed Deer, and American Bison. Then two side by side rocky enclosures one with Chacoan Peccary, and another with Collared Peccary. The next exhibit is a glass viewing area to look at American Alligator, then an elevated path goes around the exhibit to see the lush, swampy above ground portion of the enclosure. Following is a massive outdoor auditorium for a short sea lion show, right before a glass viewing, and elevated paths for a rocky California Sea Lion. Then guests would enter a rocky cave with indoor glass viewing areas that half view underwater and over water. These outdoor exhibits would be rocky, lush brush, and trees for North American River Otter, and American Beaver. The next two exhibit would be a large aviary like enclosures with rocks, lush plants, and a pond for Mountain Lion, and Grey Wolf. The final enclosure would be a large grotto like exhibit with trees, brush, and a creek for Grizzly Bear.
I'm not that far on Australian Bush, but I'll try to finish it as fast as I can.
Take your time, Quality vs. Quantity
Keep meaning to ask, what's Magpie Robin doing in a North American section?
I moved Gomphothere's exhibit designs to their own thread where they can be better appreciated.

Hello everyone! I'm working on a zoo, and for my indochina exhibit, which would be easier to obtain? Southeast asian gaur or burmese banteng? Also, are there any captive tree shrews other than common or northern? Thanks.
