Best Exhibit for this Species

Though it’s definitely not one of the top exhibits, I’d say that the Gorilla Rainforest at Dublin Zoo is certainly a runner up, especially in Northern Europe. Interestingly it promotes a more wetland theme than overt rainforest, which is more accurate for lowland gorillas than some would think (at least some of the time), it’s beautifully planted, sizeable, enriching and doubles as a multi-species exhibit for crowned mangabeys. It’s really the only standout in that part of the world, most gorilla exhibits in Ireland and the UK tend to be very similar.

 

Both Bronx and Dublin have fantastic gorillas enclosure, I like the environment of Bronx's one, which has many trees and climbings for young and female gorillas, and looks pretty like their natural habitat. While Dublin's enclosure has a very big size.

Next, which zoos have great indoor exhibits for Giraffes?

 

I've also heard a lot of positivity about the sheer size of Apenheul's gorilla exhibit

 

Indoor Giraffe Exhibits? I think we can discount any that just look like a tall stable, they’re nice but they’re not really exhibits, just sleeping quarters and the like. I’m tempted to add Lincoln Park and Bronx to this list, as they’re actual enclosures, though I feel that as their own entities they’re quite small.

 

Rotterdam’s is definitely up there.

 

From what I've seen, the Rotterdam Zoo is the best anyway.
It's actually a very large and especially tall building with a round shape. You can also get to eye level with the giraffes in the building full of education and a big glass window. The giraffes have a lot of space there and it works very well for the giraffes. Here photos:

The barn is so designed that you cannot see or photograph the entire barn at once:

Also Planckendael has a pretty good indoor enclosure, however not better than the Rotterdam Zoo, but the giraffes do have larger own stables and the giraffes can be separated from each other more easily. Recently the roof was renovated.

Riga Zoo also has a very nice indoor enclosure for their giraffes, where they can be easily separated. There aren't pictures of this exhibit on ZooChat so here are links to some pictures I found on the internet:

What zoo has the best exhibit for moose ?

 

Minnesota has a fantastic exhibit for its moose,

@Baldur


@geomorph

It looks pretty in the summer, fall, and winter!

 

What zoo has the best exhibit for Amur leopards

 

I’d suspect that Yorkshire Wildlife Park’s exhibit is one of, if not the, best out there.

 

Wow! That is really nice. I personally like the exhibit at Minnesota zoo and Staten Island zoo.

 

Erie zoos is also pretty good

 

The hogle zoo in general seems mediocre at best, But I love the design and Lushness of the Asian highlands habitats, especially the Amur leopard enclosure. These photos are from 2010.
@snowleopard took these photos, have you got any more info on these exhibits and do they still look this good?

 

I have never been to hogle zoo or seen there Amur leopard habitat before but by the looks of this photo there does not seem that there is any need of them changing the exhibit.

 

After looking it up it seems this is still the enclosure there but I did find out that in 2016 a Amur leopard escaped this exhibit and was found sleeping on a beam 15 feet in the air just outside the enclosure. Luckily no one was harmed and she was safely moved back into the exhibit after they made some changes to the mesh fence that she escaped through.

 

These pictures were taken by @snowleopard and @TinoPup of Minnesota and Staten Islands Amur Leopard exhibits.

Another one I have in mind is what zoo has the best maned wolf exhibit.

 

Well, as Minnesota being my first and foremost home zoo, I believe that the Amur leopard exhibit is adequate but not amazing.
It gets the job done for its inhabitants, but photography isn't the best and because of Covid Restrictions now its design "seems", even worse. Its more just long and narrow more than anything, oh and it's also essentially 2 exhibits, not one.
Also, Erie zoos habitat is surprisingly good considering the rest of the zoo's exhibits, but it is quite open and dense vegetation is missing.

 

I agree with your opinion about Erie and I haven’t went to Minnesota yet just saw pictures so you would know more about that exhibit than me. What were your thoughts on Staten Island.

 

Well, to be fair I also haven't been to Hogle , Which I simply asked for someone with more knowledge of the place.
@Dhole dude can tell you more about the details for Minnesota. He's also a MN Zoo local, Be aware, he undoubtedly knows more about the place then I!

Staten island looks like it's native range more than anything, but its also hard to determine the exact dimensions from a 2D Laptop screen.
