biogeographical regions are areas of animal and plant distribution having similar or shared characteristics.
in the world, there is currently 7 classified biogeographical regions
palearctic- the bulk of Eurasia and north Africa
Nearctic- Greenland and most of North America
Afrotropical- trans-Saharan Africa, Madagascar and Arabia
Neotropical- south America, Caribbean, southern Florida and the Falkland islands
Australasia- Australia, Melanesia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Sulawesi and neighbouring islands
Indomalaya- Indian subcontinent, southeast Asia, southern China, Indonesia
Oceania- Polynesia (except New Zealand) ,Micronesia, and the Fijian islands
Antarctic- Mainland Antarctica, south sandwich islands
in most zoos, these regions of planet earth are always mentioned. some more than other.
I want to know which region you like the most, which you think is underrepresented and which species that don't appear often in zoos but are part of these biogeographical regions you would like to see exhibited
