HEAD-TO-HEAD PROTOTYPE: Tierpark Berlin vs Zoo Berlin (AFRICA)

[TeaLovingDave]

As the title suggests, this one will focus on the AFRICA category - as previously, the match will last for three days and although discussion of your reasoning and provision of supplementary evidence is not mandatory (except in cases of a 5:0 vote) it *is* very much encouraged.

Moreover, even if one does not feel comfortable voting, please do ask questions, post comments relating to your opinions on the evidence presented, and generally-speaking get involved in the wider discussion!

This seems like a pretty close match. Maybe a bit more shining stuff at the Tierpark (Mountain reedbock, the new savannah, Sifaka), but the zoo has the historic antelope house which is fully African, the apes (in not so good exhibits), lions and a bunch of birds and ectotherms.

The fact that the Tierpark with its larger area has both qualitative and quantitive better oepn huffstock enclosres (even without the new elephant house yet), makes it a quite easy decision., the nice lemur collection aswell. Zoo only is really superior in Herps/fishes/birds, in wich the Tierpark in general can never compeat on that area

The Zoo does possibly have the best exhibit in this category - the Hippos.
