Make An Exhibit Based On An Exhibit In Real Life

I'm down for that.

Canadian Widerness

The exhibit is designed like a loop around a natural waterfowl pond like the one in Toronto's exhibit. Coming into the exhibit, the first animals people see will be 1.1 Common raccoons in a log-filled enclosure. 1.1 Wolverine will inhabit a forested enclosure with a burrow for rest nearby. As the trail starts to loop around the pond, aviaries for 1.1 Bald eagle, 1.1 Great horned owl and 1.1 American crow are present, each one allowing adequate flying area. Large paddocks for 1.2 Moose and 2.6 Wood bison are next up, with the bison having slightly less treed area. The looped area ends with two large enclosures for the large carnivores of the region: 1.1 Puma and 1.1 Grizzly bear, in addition to a lookout for the pond. As the trail leads back to the entrance, mountainlike enclosures for 2.4 Bighorn sheep and 2.4 Rocky Mountain goat are present. The final enclosure in the loop is a forested, netted enclosure for 1.1 Canada lynx.

Species list for waterfowl pond:
1.1 American beaver (in a sectioned-off area)
1.1 North American river otter (in a sectioned-off area)
1.1 Trumpeter swan
2.2 Mallard
+ any native birds that decide to come (signage will still be present for them)

I'm up for another one, preferably not from my home zoo.

@TheGerenuk great job!I like how you used very popular animals for your exhibit.
Next up is Destination Africa at the Calgary Zoo.

Chimp Canopies

A name referring to the top layer of the forest, where chimps spend their time.


When walking in, a room with climbing frames and glass is on one side of you, and a pocket with underwater viewing is on the other. The glass room is home to Black and White Colobus Monkys, and the other a large male Nile Crocodile, named Tick Tock. Along with the monkeys, the elephant related Rock Hyrax jump around and onto the frames low to the ground. Further along, and a terrarium for Panamanian Golden Frogs are on the right, and further, a large, long glass panel shows a view into the Western Chimpanzee’s night room. It has ropes, hammocks, and 2 baby chimps! The other side is a rotating room of Ring Tailed Lemurs, Red Ruffed Lemurs, and Golden Bamboo Lemurs. Once out of the building, a large mesh building attached to the side of the Chimp Canopies gives a large outdoor home for their Chimpanzees.

Nice replication of an African Forest and I like how you even included Madagascar!Next up is Blacktip Reef at the National Aquarium.

Asian Domain (Part 2):


After some reimagining and reworkings on the boardwalk pathway for quite sometime now.The exhibit is now open again and we can’t wait to tell you of what happened during the temporary closure.Here are the updates to the Asian Domain.

Now after passing by the langur exhibit there is a fork in the road on where you will go towards next.Here you can turn to the left towards the new expansion or you can turn to the right to the walkthrough aviary for which we had already discussed before.And because of this we decide to turn to the left path and onto more bamboo forest for quite some time before exiting the boardwalk and onto some pathway.Here you walk towards the first habitat for which is a small thin-mesh aviary home to 2.2.0 White-crested laughing thrush as you continue your journey through the bamboo that now surrounds both sides of the boardwalk path.Here a larger version of the first aviary we just saw can be found,but this time it is home to 1.1.0 Wreathed hornbills.After the hornbills you come across a large Indonesian themed long-house which also makes up a education area,plus as a reptile house.Seven terrariums with three on the right side and four on the right are the respective homes for each of these species.

Species list (Reptile long-house):


1.1.0 Tentacled snake,
4.4.0 Bornean eared frog,
3.2.0 Crocodile lizard,
1.0.0 Red-tailed green rat snake,
3.2.0 Black-breasted leaf turtle,
4.3.0 Malaysian walking leaf and
2.2.0 Giant Asian toad.


Also in the longhouse,visitors can look out a large glass window for where on the other side is a large thin-mesh cage for a species already kept at Zoo Tampa in real life.Here amongst the many climbing structures,artificial and real trees and various foliage is where the zoos 1.1.0 Clouded leopards can be found(if you can spot them of course).Soon you begin to exit the longhouse and eventually the boardwalk turns slightly to the right and on the left side of the boardwalk for where you approach to is a large pen with a Indonesian-themed shade structure to the right of the exhibit along with various foliage here and there.It is here that the zoos breeding herd of 1.2.1 Lowland Anoa (Again another species that Zoo Tampa has kept in real life) can be seen.Before the expansion,the Anoas would have been found in the rotational exhibit along with the otters,tapirs and porcupines for which we had already discussed before until very recently when the male and our females were eventually moved to their current exhibit and with one of our females have had since produced a female calf making it the first anoa birth at our zoo so far.After passing by the anoa exhibit your path continues to walk past some more bamboo on both sides of the boardwalk until eventually your path has rejoined to the secondary boardwalk along with the already mentioned aviary boardwalk and finish the exhibit the same way we have already discussed in my previous post...

And there you have it the Asian Domain is now officially complete.I hope you guys have enjoyed on what I have posted on this forum and I hope to be around whenever I have the time for it...

Also I will not take anymore exhibits if that’s ok with you guys...

Veey nice continuation of the exhibit and I like that you added some reptiles as that is something Asian Gardens doesn't have.
Just let me know if you would like another exhibit.
 
I haven't been to a lot of zoos, so I'll have to rely on pictures and websites. But I'll take one.
 
Woodland Park, Point Defiance, San Diego, National (US), Oregon, Birmingham, Shedd Aquarium, Northwest Trek, Georgia Aquarium, Disney's Animal Kingdom

There’s three species of lemur at Chimp Forest in the zoo and it’s based off it so, yeah.
Also, the Rock Hyraxes used to be with the monkeys in the real zoo, but got phased out and Tick-Tock is the name of one of the crocodiles in the actual zoo.
 
Barrier of the Sea

The ocean surrounds you, and you can see several fish above inside the tunnel. There are no signs, but the easiest to identify are Clownfish, Regal Tangs, Spotted Eagle Rays, Blacktip Reef Sharks, Zebra Sharks, and a captive born Green Sea Turtle. Once out of the tunnel, an escalator brings you up to the above view, where the coral reef gets a new light, and to the right, a loop tank faces the reef. It contains Sandbar Tiger Sharks, Humpback Snappers, and Lemon Sharks. Once through the aquarium, a path goes over another large loop tank, and a stairway goes down, as the fish swim beside you. At the middle, the shark tank is beneath the other loop tank. At the bottom, another underwater viewing of the reef, and the opposite side is a learning deck for injured sea turtles.
I didn’t really need to specify every fish right?
 
Also, the zoos I have been to (that are AZA accredited) are:
  • Maryland Zoo
  • National Zoo
  • Disney’s Animal Kingdom
  • ZooAmerica (Hershey, PA)
  • Bronx Zoo
 
Big Cats of the World

This historic exhibit is 4 exhibits in a circle, for the four largest species of big cats. All exhibits are the same, but some have info pointed towards a species, and thus that species spends the most time in that quarter. In one, the largest cat in the world, the Siberian Tiger. On the left, an exhibit for Asiatic Lions, and the right a habitat for Jaguars. The final cat is the Cougar, Catamount, Puma, or Mountain Lion, whatever you prefer. There are also two side exhibits. At the one next to the tiger, a Eurasian Lynx takes residence, and Margays are across from the Jaguars.

Nice @grevy's zebra and I like how you used Asiatic Lions instead of African ones!
Next up for you is Big Sky country at ZooAmerica.
 
You know what @Liam Graff I am going to have a big day tomorrow (July 9,2020) and I will be very busy for quite a long while, so if that’s ok with you.I will probably not accept Safari Africa...I know I recently just said that I wanted another exhibit but honestly I think this is just for the better.

Thank you for your understanding..
