This one may be fairly short but i don't quite know.
Sumatran orangutan habitat:This habitat is small and the piping is ugly but it works and it provides tons of climbing space!!!But the part that really bugs me is the fact that Tornto Zoo doesn't have an outdoor area.First,i t would be good if they got rid of the green piping and added larger,higher and more natural climbing structures like fake with tons of roping and such to provide lots of climbing.Next,they could change that wooden platform at the window to rock work.The moat at the front is ok but it just scares me that a Kartiko incident may happen again.In the viewing area,they should move Kartiko's statue to the glass window.Also in the habitat,to provide even more climbing apparatus,they should have an O-Line that allows the rangutans to swing overhead of visitors of the paddocks areas while leting them roam in and free but protected like way.unlike the O-Line at National Zoo though,this one could twist and turn in a bunch of directions so they could explore basically all the Indo Area while still they could go through the top of the roof and into there indoor area (you kind of have to invvision it in your head,what i mean is the a part or the roof would be strengthen and hot wired of so the orang's could "land" without escaping and then thhey coul go through a door in the roof and climb down on of there fake trees into there exhibit.)Now since i've finshed explianing that,i'll start with the outdoor area.It would be a big huge net type tent and it would have tons of ropes,fake trees and a wooden feeding platform in the middle (like Orangutan Island) to feed them.They would enter the exhibit so it was up high like the gibbons and the reason i have so much arboreal stuff is beacuase the ground would be filled with about 2 feet of warm water to keep them up in the trees.They probaly would'nt fall and if they did,they would'nt drown as its only two feet.I think its a fine idea but then again im only 12.You could view it from inside at a glass area or from up above on a boradwalk.The water below could also have so fish or maybe that could serve as an outdoor yard for asian small clawed otters (the indoors being the gibbons)
gibbon habitat:I hink this habitat is awesome.Its large,has glass,has trees,includes lotts of climbing areas and there well contained.The only thing i'd add are the zoo's two muntjac deer,babirusa and small clawed otters.And being the otters swim in the moat,There could be a part wher you can go under the path to look through an underwater window.As for an outdoor habitat,i'd just mix them with the orangutans outside along with the otters and i would keep the muntjac and the babirusa indoors at all times.
Indonesian River Tank:this is another great area as its extremely spacious and its not packed with huge fish.The only thing i'd do to make it more like a flooded river is id add fake roots coming out of the backwall.
Reptile Tanks:These are fine in my mind.The python could have a larger area but either then that ther fine.
prevost's squirrel habitat:I've never seen there habiat as its super hidden and the barrier is harp wire.I've only seen a baby dart by once and thats it.Maybe there exhibit could be less concealed so you could see tem as ther very amusing animals.
gharial/turtle habitat:Awesome viewing but since the gharial is moving it would be nice if they turned this into a habitat for chinese aligators and they kept the turtles as i heard the zoo was the first to successfully breed them in North America and there very rare.I like the area so its prfectly fine the way it is.
If im missing anything,just remind me as the pavilion o me is very cluttered.
Addition:Not much,maybe just a few education areas and a few single species exhibits like fishing cats,bearded pig and francois langur.Also,a few murals in some habitats would be good.
guess i was wrong about the size
