Parque Zoológico de León

I've had the idea to design zoos for cities and countries that lack them, so here's my entry for a zoo in León, in Castilla-León, Spain. Feel free to suggest any city or town in dire need of a zoo or aquarium in the comments below! :D

      Niiiiice! I wish León had a zoo.
    • JigerofLemuria
      @SivatheriumGuy Glad you like it! :D
      Any suggestions of a town anywhere in dire need of a zoological collection? Bremen comes to mind, I just don't know what could make it stand out among all the other German greats. Within Spain, Bilbao/Pamplona and Mérida comes to mind, so if you'd like to make some suggestions about those or more, please by all means do so. :)
    • SivatheriumGuy
      @JigerofLemuria We are in desperate need of zoos in the Basque Capitals... All of them work.
    • JigerofLemuria
      @SivatheriumGuy Then I'll get working on that. Any suggestions on what species/approaches could give them a fresh touch? Feel free to PM me to give them if you wish! :D
