    @TheGerenuk great job!I like how you used very popular animals for your exhibit.
    Next up is Destination Africa at the Calgary Zoo.
    Nice replication of an African Forest and I like how you even included Madagascar!Next up is Blacktip Reef at the National Aquarium.
    Veey nice continuation of the exhibit and I like that you added some reptiles as that is something Asian Gardens doesn't have.
    Just let me know if you would like another exhibit.

    I haven't been to a lot of zoos, so I'll have to rely on pictures and websites. But I'll take one.

    There’s three species of lemur at Chimp Forest in the zoo and it’s based off it so, yeah.
    Also, the Rock Hyraxes used to be with the monkeys in the real zoo, but got phased out and Tick-Tock is the name of one of the crocodiles in the actual zoo.

    Barrier of the Sea

    The ocean surrounds you, and you can see several fish above inside the tunnel. There are no signs, but the easiest to identify are Clownfish, Regal Tangs, Spotted Eagle Rays, Blacktip Reef Sharks, Zebra Sharks, and a captive born Green Sea Turtle. Once out of the tunnel, an escalator brings you up to the above view, where the coral reef gets a new light, and to the right, a loop tank faces the reef. It contains Sandbar Tiger Sharks, Humpback Snappers, and Lemon Sharks. Once through the aquarium, a path goes over another large loop tank, and a stairway goes down, as the fish swim beside you. At the middle, the shark tank is beneath the other loop tank. At the bottom, another underwater viewing of the reef, and the opposite side is a learning deck for injured sea turtles.
    I didn’t really need to specify every fish right?

    Big Cats of the World

    This historic exhibit is 4 exhibits in a circle, for the four largest species of big cats. All exhibits are the same, but some have info pointed towards a species, and thus that species spends the most time in that quarter. In one, the largest cat in the world, the Siberian Tiger. On the left, an exhibit for Asiatic Lions, and the right a habitat for Jaguars. The final cat is the Cougar, Catamount, Puma, or Mountain Lion, whatever you prefer. There are also two side exhibits. At the one next to the tiger, a Eurasian Lynx takes residence, and Margays are across from the Jaguars.

    Nice @grevy's zebra and I like how you used Asiatic Lions instead of African ones!
    Next up for you is Big Sky country at ZooAmerica.

    You know what @Liam Graff I am going to have a big day tomorrow (July 9,2020) and I will be very busy for quite a long while, so if that’s ok with you.I will probably not accept Safari Africa...I know I recently just said that I wanted another exhibit but honestly I think this is just for the better.

    Thank you for your understanding..
