Dream Zoo

[OskarGC]

Your sentence structure is giving me a headache.
Physalia utriculus isn't a jellyfish, but a hydrozoan. And I do not support this "throwaway" kind of animal husbandry.
Not every African rainforest is "the Congo". Could you please name all these "many zoos" successfully mixing mandrills & pygmy hippos?
One the one hand, you state that your species selection is limited to what you have in Australia. On the other, you eagerly list non-native species that to my knowledge are not kept in Australian zoos.
So what is your USP, other than throwing a frenetic quantity of species at us? Just the size is a bit uninspired, isn't it?

Sorry about my sentence structure.
I called them jellyfish as that is what they're closely related to. Lots of zoos keep animals with short lifespans such as mice, stick insects & some fish species all of which sometimes live around a yr.
I know that every rainforest in Africa isn't "the Congo" but it was better part of the zoo to exhibit the Pygmy Hippos.
Off the top of my head I can name Melbourne Zoo (Australia) & South Lakes Safari Zoo (England) but there are more, the EAZA remarked in their Pygmy Hippo Best Practice Guidelines that both species can be kept together but it did state that there may be aggression from the male Mandrills.
The species is limited to what we have in Australia & what zoos can be legally import into Australia with a few exceptions.
Other than the large size, I stated about the unique species & how they're exhibited being USP's.

So, if you want royal grammas so badly, why not make a Caribbean tank? The species are well-known and easy to come by for zoos and aquariums.

Within the zoo there isn't much room for this tank to be put, one Caribbean species in an Indo-Pacific tank is different than having a Caribbean tank in an area meant to be based off an Indo-Pacific region. I don't see where else this tank could be put in the zoo.

 

[OskarGC]

Are you sure they're African Penguins and not Humboldts or Magellanics? I've not seen Inca Tern mixed with African but I have with the South American species.

zoos/aquariums that keep/have kept African penguins & Inca Terns together include Newport Aquarium & Louisville Zoo (USA), Dierenpark Zie-ZOO (Netherlands) & Bristol Zoo (England).

If it's the color scheme you like, you could swap the Royal Gramma for the Bicolor Dottyback and keep the Indo-Pacific theme.

The species is limited to what we have in Australia & what zoos can be legally import into Australia with a few exceptions.

Birds cannot be imported into Australia, with extremely few exceptions, so the majority of your listed birds are impossible (i.e. anything other than what is already kept in Australia). Even if birds could be imported there are various species you list (e.g. Takahe) which would still be impossible. Not all of your other non-bird animals "can legally be imported into Australia" either (too many to list), and some would never be approved for import (e.g. Leaf-cutter and Army Ants) because of the biosecurity risk they would pose.

Off the top of my head I can name Melbourne Zoo (Australia) & South Lakes Safari Zoo (England) but there are more

Melbourne do not keep Mandrills and Pigmy Hippos together. What zoos are included in your "there are more" statement?

Lots of zoos keep animals with short lifespans such as mice, stick insects & some fish species all of which sometimes live around a yr.

Which are captive-bred. Not the same situation at all.

Bonobos and chimps are even closer related to us; yet you wouldn't call them humans, would you?
Keeping (and breeding) short-lived species is one thing; deliberately cutting down a lifespan due to inadequate husbandry is another, and unethical in my books.
There are just tad bit more than a "few exceptions" to your dream list, aren't there?
Melbourne does not keep both species together any longer, and neither does Halle, due to the aforementioned interspecific aggressive behavior. But please, feel free to mention the many other, still working examples.
"Uniqueness" isn't really a great selling point in modern zoos. So far, you've given little to no explaination or details to your style of exhibition.

Off the top of my head I can name Melbourne Zoo (Australia) & South Lakes Safari Zoo (England) but there are more

From what I can find actually, South Lakes actually has anymore neither pygmy hippo or mandrill..

most almost all of the birds within the aviaries are already in Australian zoos or aviculture. The exceptions for some of the outdoor exhibit birds such as those in the Africa (other than in the aviary), non free-flight birds in Rainforests of the World, some waterfowl in Wetlands & Waterways, the NZ birds & seabirds in the Atlas Aquarium (apart from the penguins & cormorants), the swans in South America & all exotic birds-of-prey.
I know that African Penguins aren't in Australia but according to the live-import list they can be imported.

currently they do not but they used to. By saying "there are more" I meant that there would be more without knowing exactly what zoos do.

I get this & that it wouldn't be the same with these short-lived species as it would with wild-caught specimens meaning that it's a species which probably shouldn't be included in the zoo.

I wouldn't called Bonobos or Chimps humans but I would call us & them primates.
Yes I get that it would be unethical for this species to be kept & will include its exclusion from the zoo in an edits post after I finish posting the rest of the zoo.
Yes of course there are more than a few but there isn't a whole lot that isn't in Australian zoos or able to be imported for them.
I knew that Melbourne previously & didn't anymore but didn't know about South Lakes not keeping them anymore.
By saying there are more I meant that there would be more not knowing exactly what zoos do.
I get this but by unique I was just saying that it'd be very different for an Aussie zoos & in an area that doesn't have a proper zoo close by.

I know that African Penguins aren't in Australia but according to the live-import list they can be imported.

With a quick rough count, there are at least forty bird species you have listed which are not kept in Australia. And, no, African Penguins cannot be imported. Simply being included on the import list does not mean they can actually be imported - because birds cannot be imported. A lot of the other non-bird species you list are also not in Australia and cannot be imported.

currently they do not but they used to. By saying "there are more" I meant that there would be more without knowing exactly what zoos do.

So, in other words, you don't know of any and saying "but there are more" had no basis in anything.

I get this & that it wouldn't be the same with these short-lived species as it would with wild-caught specimens meaning that it's a species which probably shouldn't be included in the zoo.

I'm not sure I understand this sentence - are you agreeing with what I said or are you saying that mice, fish etc shouldn't be kept?

Melbourne do not keep Mandrills and Pigmy Hippos together. What zoos are included in your "there are more" statement?

Yes they aren't. Although the enclosures are joined via a waterway that runs into one of the Pygmy Hippo enclosures.

Apparently @Batto made a comment on a media from South Lake that Melbourne in the past had attempted to group the two species together.

South Lakes experiment has since ended afaik; the Pygmy Hippos got a little bit too aggressive towards the mandrills.

As far as I'm aware there was never an attempt at a mixed enclosure at Melbourne. The design has, from the start, been one enclosure for the Mandrills and two for the Pigmy Hippos. That is the only way I have ever seen it as well.

I was a little confused wondering how it was possible. It's possible initial designs planned for the Pygmy Hippos to have access to the waterway that runs into the Mandrill enclosure.

From what I remember reading years ago, Melbourne probably ran into the same issue of interspecific aggression as SL and Halle (where the male mandrill was the main aggressor) and thus designed the final version accordingly separated.
