Has anyone visited a zoo that has a section dedicated to each continent?

Almost all zoos have an African and Asian section and most also have a South American section. I'm speaking from my experience visiting zoos in the United States, but I would bet these sections are represented in zoos in other places. Others such as Australian and North American areas are pretty common as well. However, I've never seen an area dedicated to wildlife of Europe. It makes me wonder, is there any zoo in the world that has a section for each of the seven continents?
 
As Emperor, Adelie and Chinstrap penguins are extremely rare in zoos, hardly any zoo will have a proper Antarctica section. Both Tierpark Hellabrun and Diergaarde Blijdorp come close to your 7 continents but with some sub-antarctic penguins replacing the truly antarctic ones.

I would say sub Antarctic would still count in this case. I have never seen a section of a zoo in the United States dedicated to European species. I know there aren't many animals native to Europe held here but it would be interesting to see.
