      What is going to be in the Monsoon Forest building? Is it an aviary?

      Someone ought to be kept in detention at the School to improve their handwriting, before they are allowed to go to the End joist.

      is the text on the actual map easier to read than it is on this photo? I can read it but it isn't particularly easy with the way the shape of the letters interact with the wood pattern behind them.

      Yeah, it's just a fiddly font. The 1s and 7s on the zoo map are quite tricky to decipher as well. The only actual errors are the 'Template' and that I think the Babirusa label is in the wrong place (the enclosure is between the 'end point' and shop, as I understand it).

      you're right about the babirusa habitat.

      at least they managed to get the Orang sign correct....

      ...the Islands sign at the entrance to the zoo still calls them Sumatrano Rangutans.

      amazes me how these typos don't get spotted!

      It doesn't surprise me one bit that typo's get missed,it happens all the time and IT WILL always be the customers fault,as all printers have a t and c's that states they are not responsible for an errors found after approval has been given by the customer!

      So this is slightly off the topic that this thread has taken, but what will happen to the exhibits freed up in the rest of the zoo? Bornean orangutans will be given Realm of the Red Ape when the Sumatrans move (or vice versa) from what I could gather from elsewhere on the forums. I'm more interested in the random exhibits spread around the zoo (tiger, banteng, babirusa etc.) that will suddenly be vacant. Will it be a case of fill in the gaps as time goes by or are there already plans in place?

      Sumatrans will move to Islands so Borneans will get RORA,the current Babirusa exhibit will still have Babirusa in it,in the form of a second group.The Banteng enclosure could possible be given over to more breeding/rearing aviarys for birds.The Tiger enclosure is anybodys guess!!

      But rest assured the zoo has a plan for every empty space,it may take a few months or more for them to be filled but they will be!!
