    I will have to stunt Barrington, since my computer is having issues with the fan, so one I post all of Barrington, all the other zoos posted will be before it, and the zoo posted from Barrington would be the project.

    Cape Black is a small city in South Africa. As a result, it holds lots of species native to Southern Africa and around. The first exhibit is inside the small mammal house and is for Duthie's golden mole, a species endemic to South Africa. Next in the small mammal house is the Giant golden mole, also endemic to South Africa. Both species have exhibits which are mainly underground, with burrows, and the area above ground mimics the savanna. The next exhibit is a lot larger and full of tree limbs. It is for Brown greater galagos. The next exhibit is grassy and has a few climbing opportunities and houses White tailed rats and Springhares. Next up is a dark exhibit for Blasius' horseshoe bat. The penultimate exhibit is for Aardvarks and Cape sengis. They also have an outdoor exhibit. The ground is mostly grassy but trails are carved through the exhibit for the sengis, and there is a burrow for the aardvarks. The last exhibit is for Black-footed cats, who also have an outdoor exhibit.

    Having exited the small mammal house, the visitors reach a large paddock for Cape buffalos. Next is a wooded exhibit for oribis, an antelope rarely found in zoos. A large complex with a large indoor barn houses a large herd of African bush elephants and a neighbouring chain of exhibits houses Southern white rhinoceroses, South African giraffes, Common elands, Burchell's zebras and Bonteboks.
    Next to them is a carnivore complex home to Southern lions, South African cheetahs, Caracals and African leopards. Finally, an aviary complex with African crowned eagles, Shoebills and many other smaller birds awaits the visitors near the exit.

    Next zoo: Apopa zoo (El Salvador)

    Apopa Zoo
    This is a 10-acre zoo near a beach in El Salvador.

    The entry features three exhibits. In the middle is a pond for American flamingos. To the right are sulcata tortoises. To the left is a family of spider monkeys.

    The path in the zoo is essentially a circle. If you take the left path (between the flamingos and howler monkeys), you arrive at a small Africa exhibit. There is a three-acre paddock with 1.1 Masai giraffes, 1.3 Thompson's gazelles, and 1.2 Grant's zebras. Next is a food court with outdoor seating that abuts an enclosure for two brother lions.

    The next exhibit is an Amazon exhibit. First is a walkthrough aviary with hyacinth macaws, green iguana, capybara, roseate spoonbills, sunbitterns, and yellow-headed amazon parrots. The next two exhibits are home to breeding pairs of giant anteaters and jaguars.

    The final exhibit is a little Asia exhibit with exhibits for Komodo dragon, red pandas, Indian muntjac, and gavials. You then end up between the flamingos and the tortoises.

    Next Zoo: Grover Park Zoo (United States)

    West Coast predator park

    This zoo in Sonoma is home to predominantly carnivores. The visitors start off on a loop, starting with small carnivores. The first two exhibits are for 1.2 Yellow-throated marten and 1.1 American badger. Further along, the visitors come to an exhibit for 1.1 Rusty-spotted cat. Then there is a much larger exhibit with underwater viewing under a shelter for 1.2 North American river otters. Next door, in a similar exhibit to the otters but without underwater viewing are 2.2 Fishers. Now, the species are much large. 1.1 Jungle cats are in a wooded enclosure adjacent to 1.2 Jaguarundi. A very thickly wooded but otherwise small pair of enclosures hold 2.2 Margay and 1.2 Ocelot. The next exhibit is very large and wooded and is for a pair of American black bears, who also have an urban area in their exhibit to refer to their scavenging lifestyles in the city. A large expanse of grass with a few trees and bushes and a stream acts as a Cheetah exhibit for 1.1. A Grizzly bear exhibit for 1.1 is next and is similar to the black bear exhibit but larger. Finally, the visitors come to a large building with viewing into 4 different exhibit for 1.2 Jaguar, 2.2 Amur leopard, 2.3 African lions and 1.2 Amur tigers. They are all in different exhibits - the jaguar exhibit is thickly-wooded, while the lion exhibit is quite bare - the tiger exhibit is essentially an area of pine forest and the leopard exhibit is full of trees and climbing opportunities.

    Point Blanc Safari Park
    This is a massive drive-through safari park in northern France. The drive-through area is separated into five zones:

    1. Grand Teton
    This zone is based on Grand Teton National Park in the United States. There are two large lush exhibits, each featuring climbing rock formations and water features. The first is home to black bears. The second is a community exhibit with herds of moose, mule deer, American bison, pronghorns, and bighorn sheep.

    2. Australia
    This zone is divided into three sections. One section has a large mod of red kangaroos and a family of emus. Another section has a group of swamp wallabies by a lake. Vehicles go over a bridge over a water feature (the wallabies' and the water belonging to the next animal). Under the bridge is a wall separating the wallabies from the next animal: saltwater crocodiles, which guests can drive by and see them sunning themselves on land, separated from the other animals by a fence of course..

    3. Chobe
    This exhibit is based on Chobe National Park in Botswana. It starts out at a community exhibit featuring greater kudu, zebras, red lechwe, warthog, sitatunga, roan antelopes, impalas, and cape buffalo. The next section features a family of common hippos. The aforementioned hoofstock except buffalo have access to the hippo area, but the hippos cannot access the hoofstock area due to posts placed wide enough for the smaller hoofed animals to pass through but not the hippos. The last exhibit is home to a pride of African lions.

    4. La Argentina
    This zone is divided into two sections. One is based on the Gran Chaco habitat and is home to Chacoan peccaries and Darwin's rheas. The second section is based on the Pampas habitat and is home to guanacos, giant anteaters, Patagonian cavies, and lowland tapirs. There is also an exhibit for maned wolves.

    5. Chitwan Trek
    This zone is based on Chitwan National Park in Nepal. It starts with a community exhibit with Indian rhinos, gaurs, hog deer, chital deer, and wild boars. The next exhibit is home to a pair of striped hyenas. The last exhibit is home to a pair of Bengal tigers.

    Between Chobe and La Argentina is the walk-through village where guests can park their cars and see other animals. There is a tall observation tower where guests can look out upon the scenery. The lions of Chobe can be seen from here. There is also a pond for Chilean flamingos. On one side of the flamingo exhibit is a lush habitat for a breeding pair of southern pudus. On the other side is an island exhibit for. There is an Australia House where short-beaked echidnas, koalas, a walkthrough parakeet aviary, a winter home for saltwater crocodiles, and exhibits for venomous snakes can be found. There is also a separate exhibit for ocelots.

    Next zoo: Tamaroa Faunapark (Papua New Guinea)

    This area starts with a pond for mallards, Canada geese, and a male trumpeter swan when he's not used for breeding. Next is an exhibit for a family of beavers. Last is the largest exhibit in this area, home to a pair of moose and a family of trumpeter swans.

    Since I was banned, I have been working on Barrington, and it is almost ready. I need to do the last area, Africa. So since Africa is so large, it will take a bit. And by a bit, I mean a long while.
