Describe that Zoo

I'll post part 3 of the zoo's past master plan:
Odyssey of the Himalayas

Odyssey of the Himalayas is a renovation of the former elephant house and the enclosures surrounding it, which are still featured in this area. It features animals native to the Himalayan Mountain Range and India, and is the first part of the Asian section:

0.3 Wild Yak

1.4 Himalayan Tahr

1.2 Bharal

1.1 Snow Leopard

1.0 Indian Rhino

1.2 Wild Bactrian Camel

1.1 Red Panda

2.0 Himalayan Black Bear

0.1 Himalayan Brown Bear

0.2 Himalayan Porcupine

Description:

The exhibit opens with a rocky arch, and a sign reads “Odyssey of the Himalayas”. When you walk in, an enclosure with rising and sloping terrain is on the left, and Wild Yaks roam on them, along with a stand to feed the yaks for $5 (and whatever the pound equivalent is). The rocks behind them is a playground for Himalayan Tahr and Bharals. The rocks of the tahr and bharal come around the yak’s habitat and through the rocks, a tunnel comes out of them, and a large netted enclosure is behind the rocks, and houses Snow Leopards. The tunnel goes to a traditional Nepalese building, which is their indoor exhibit. The building has a mirror panel, with the reflective side facing the cats, allowing privacy for the leopards. The main habitat allows the animals to climb on the rocks and even on pine trees in the habitat. A climbing frame also allows them to climb as well. The marketplace is full of buildings, including a fudge place called “Bharal Brownies”, which includes a view of a Himalayan Quail and Himalayan Monal aviary, which is full of bushes and has a rock in the middle, which the birds use for roosting. Another building has black tinted glass, and inside is a forest environment for a sister pair of Himalayan Porcupines. At the end of the village, an abandoned building is chipped away with glass on the side of the guests. It shows a view of both rescue Himalayan Black Bear cubs, now fully grown, and a pregnant Himalayan Brown Bear, which are on rotation, have the building to themselves, along with access to an outdoor yard with a small pool. The path then goes down, and a large building comes into view, along with a paddock for an Indian Rhino and Wild Bactrian Camels. The building is walkthrough, and has elephants on the roof, along with elephant symbols above the door. Inside, a large, open sandy enclosure is on the left, with a path going straight forward. The walls adorn information and conservation for the rhinos, as well as the camels. Once exited, the last enclosure is a red panda island, formerly holding orangutans. It has been expanded, and now allows the pandas to relax on branches of a fir tree. The path then goes forward towards the second part of Asia, the Realm of the Tiger.
