World Creature Watch
This last section of the park (that is planned to open with the park as more lands will come in the future) focuses on conservation and has species from any part of the world. The first exhibit is to the immediate left after entering this land. A large red clay habitat with stretches of grass is for a small herd of 1.3 Arabian oryxes. This part is a bit of a walk, but on the way, signs and other educational options teaching about conservation are on the side of the path on the way to the next exhibit, a grassy nearly treeless habitat for 1.2 key deer.
Further down the path, a trail to the right brings guests to a large building with three statues of conservation success species on the roof: a bald eagle, American alligator, and gray wolf.
In the building, guests first see a large desert-like terrarium right in front of them. In here, 1.1 Aruba Island rattlesnakes. Guests continue to the left and enter a large room with more terrariums, a large outdoor habitat viewable via a large window, and interactive exhibits and signs teaching about endangered species, conservation, caring for the environment, and even a separate room that acts as a tribute or memorial for extinct species such as the thylacine, golden toad, dodo, and more. This will range anywhere from taxidermied specimens, to pictures, and to videos or audio of the species. In the main room, one of the first seen terrariums has pine straw, pinecones, and a hide made of bark. In here, an Eastern indigo snake lives with a gopher tortoise. Next to the snake and tortoise, a tropical forest-themed terrarium is home to 1.1 Arakan forest turtles. Before the final habitat on this side, a large aquatic enclosure decorated with live plants, sand for substrate, and driftwood is for a Lake Zacapu salamander. The last terrarium on this side is the largest and is a beach theme, with sand for substrate and leaves of coastal trees. In here is a Jamaican iguana. In the middle of this large interactive room, a large corner tank clustered with live plants, vines, and a few rocks provides housing for Limosa harlequin frogs, lemur leaf frogs, and Panamanian golden frogs. Another large corner tank in the center of the room has more of a temperate forest look. In here, a pair of 1.1 Wyoming toads. On the wall of the other side of this room are three terrariums. The first is a large desert habitat. Living here, a Mexican beaded lizard. The next terrarium is around the same size and is made to mimic a coastal forest for a tuatara. The final terrarium holds a moderately low level of water and is decorated with driftwood and live plants, all for 1.1 bog turtles that live here. The large window showing the outdoor habitat full of trees and other foliage is for 1.1 Florida panthers, with the male and female rotating during different times of the day.
Another room in this large building holds more exhibits. All of these are viewable via glass. The first is pretty large and has fake trees for climbing and some live plants on the floor. In here, 1.1 Matschie's tree kangaroos. Next to the kangaroos is a tropical habitat with perches, ropes, artificial trees, and several live plants. Here, 2.3 red-handed tamarins and 2.2 pygmy marmosets live together. Next to the monkeys is a massive tropical habitat with several perches and live trees for 1.1 Philippines eagles. On the other side, across these animals, the first exhibit is similar to the eagles' but smaller. Hollow logs and bushes provide cover for 1.0 brown kiwi. The exhibit next to the kiwi has artificial red rock designed to have a desert or canyon appearance. Like the eagles, netting tops this habitat and keeps a pair of 1.1 California condors inside. Near the end, a habitat with ropes, fake and live trees, and a small cave are for 1.0 fossa. The final habitat is a large tropical exhibit with a large pond in the middle and is clustered with foliage, live and artificial. Tall perches are also scattered in this habitat. Living in here, 1.1 Orinoco crocodiles and 1.1 wood storks.
American Invaders
This massive room will be a part of this building and may come with it some years later. It highlights invasive species of North America, and will tell their native range, where they're invasive, problems they're causing, how they got to where they are now, and what solutions are being done to stop them.
The first exhibit in this room is a vertical tank decorated with driftwood, log hides, live plants, and rocks, making a home for a few Mediterranean house geckos. Further down on the same wall, a larger horizontal tank similar in appearance houses brown anoles, curly-tailed lizards, and Cuban tree frogs.
A bit down, still on the same side, a larger enclosure than the last with a small pond, and a tropical setup. In here, brown basilisk.
Down the hall, guests can peer through a large window into an outdoor exhibit with nets keeping the animals contained. In here, a small flock of red-crowned parrots. A smaller viewing window into an outdoor habitat to the immediate right of the parrots is for a flock of European starlings.
Across the room, a massive enclosure with fake trees, live plants, a large pond, and logs makes a home for a Burmese python. Near the giant snake, an exhibit with artificial vines, plants, giant log hides, and other naturalistic climbing structures is for a red tegu. I haven't heard of red tegus being found in the U.S. like the black and white tegus, but I've seen reds a lot less in captivity although they're not too uncommon as pet lizards, so I chose this seemingly less common species that can still get the point across about invasive tegus in Florida.
In the same wall as the python and tegu tanks is another tank. Reptile bark and coco husk coats the bottom of the enclosure, and two log hides on opposite ends, as well as an empty overturned flower pot, plants, and a fake rock hide give hiding opportunities for the cane toad.
Further down on the same side as the toad, an enclosure with shredded aspen for substrate, artificial climbing structures, and a few other items such as small hammocks and hides are all for a couple of 1.1 black rats.
In the middle of this large room are two big corner tanks. In the first tank, plants clutter around the vertical pieces of wood and other climbing structures. In here, a pair of brown tree snakes. In the second that's slightly further down, live kudzu wraps around the small artificial tree, and stacks of wood all provide cover for the swarm of kudzu bugs.
The last couple of exhibits are fully aquatic and near the exit of the room, back into the main area of the conservation building. The first exhibit is a huge freshwater tank. River stones serve as a substrate, and large rocks, wood, and aquatic vegetation are all for a Northern snakehead.
The last exhibit is a bit bigger and saltwater. Sand and crushed bivale shells coat the bottom, and rock and artificial coral make a reef-like appearance. Living in here, a small school of red lionfish.
Outside of the building and to the right of the exit, a fence of sticks bound together keeps a small group of 2.3 Galapagos giant tortoises in their grassy habitat. With the tortoises, a small flock of 2.4 brown pelicans.
After the tortoises and birds, guests take this diverted path back to the main path. Not much longer, to the right is a sandy habitat with rock outcroppings, dens, and live plants accompanied by a large pool of saltwater, all separated by two large windows. A colony of African penguins lives here. Across the penguins' side and a bit further down, an island full of trees, real and artificial, as well as other plants and ropes connected to most of the trees provides cover and enrichment for 2.3 ring-tailed lemurs, 1.1 red-ruffed lemurs, and 1.1 mongoose lemurs. Down the path, a moat separates a grassy enclosure with a large artificial baobab tree in the middle and some other live trees spread out. In here, 1.1 Coquerel's sifakas.
Further down the main path, another trail diverges. Here, guests are led to a large blue building with fake icicles hanging from the ceiling and snowy peaks on the roof. Once you enter, a blast of crisp air cools you off, and a grand window allowing a view into a half rocky half grassy habitat and rocky mountain-like outcroppings may allow a sighting of a snow leopard, a male and female who rotate. Further down, another large window allows guests to see into a larger rocky and grassier exhibit. At the artificial rock shore with fake snow on the mock rock, a large pool of cold water provides a swimming opportunity for a polar bear, another rotation habitat for the male and female bears. A huge rock den sits in the middle of the exhibit, and in the corner of the habitat, a den guests can see into with the walls carved and painted to look like Arctic ice, and at the end of the den is the door to the bears' indoor sections. Outside of the building, a viewing with just a moat holding the bears back allows a different angle to see the habitat and bears.
The last section may not be too popular with Zoochatters, but provides a bit of extra fun and interaction for visitors. Here is a large barn that guests walk through to see pens where the animals go in for the night. In the barn walls at the end of the building, large tanks can be seen. Both have live plants and schools of various goldfish varieties. This may not be too exciting, but it can provide a chance to educate the public on the care of these fish since most people seem to not provide what they truly need.
Outside of the barn, a large petting zoo. Logs, boulders, live plants, and climbing structures provide enrichment for the domestic animals. In the main yard-
2.3 Nubian goat
2.3 Nigerian dwarf goat
1.3 Black Welsh mountain sheep
2.2 Toggenburg goat
2.2 Southdown babydoll sheep
1.1 Juliana pig
There will be a few fenced-off sections of the petting zoo for other animals. This allows guests to pet larger animals without much risk of injury.
The largest fenced-off section will be for 0.2 Holstein cows. Next to the cows, 0.2 miniature donkeys and 1.0 Shetland pony. The next fenced away area will be for 1.1 llamas. The last fenced away section will be for the birds, which will be 1.4 Plymouth rock chickens, 1.1 Chinese geese, and 2.2 Cayuga ducks.
These are all the sections that will open with the park (except maybe Australia, but I just wanted to add it now in this thread). The last couple of things I will add will be things I planned to open years later.
