    What are the 3 Best Zoos for each Continent (except Antarctica)?
    All the continents include:
    North America (Canada and USA including Hawaii)
    Central and South America (Mexico down to Panama including the Caribbean, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Chile etc.)
    Africa (Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria etc. downwards including Madagascar)
    Europe (Great Britain + Ireland, Spain, France, Germany, Scandinavia, Greece etc. up until the Ural Mountains)
    Asia (Azerbaijan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Russia (to the right of the Ural Mountains), Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, India etc.)
    Oceania (Australia, Fiji, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea etc.)

    This is your opinion, not the highest ranking on another website (although you may need to do some research).

    What do you think are the 3 best zoos for each of the continents listed above?

    I like how you classify Central America as a continent but don't believe Oceania exists :p

    North America -
    San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Bronx Zoo
    Central and South America - ?, ?, ?
    Africa - Tsimbazaza Zoo, ?, ?
    Europe - Zoo Berlin, Tierpark Berlin, Prague Zoo
    Asia - Taipei Zoo, Singapore Zoo, Jurong Bird Park
    Oceania - Taronga Zoo, Perth Zoo, ?

    To make it easier, I think Central and South America should be classified as one.
    oceania - Google-søk (Oceania) I always used Oceania to cover Australia, New Zealand, Fiji etc.
