    Dogwood Park Zoo
    This is my fantasy zoo that I've worked on for quite a while now, located in the Piedmont of North Carolina and containing over 700 different species. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions for improvement as this is my first time posting a fantasy zoo.

    As the name implies, this area contains animals native to the grasslands and more arid regions of Africa. It consists of both large outdoor exhibits containing mixed herds of hoofstock, exhibits for the mammalian predators, as well as outdoor canopied exhibits for medium-sized mammals and birds. There is also a mid-sized exhibit building containing reptiles and small mammals.

    I do plan to work out the exhibit details further as this is just a species list with a rough description of each exhibit, though that will probably take a while.

    I really like this thread. I challenge you to make a zoo for each state in the US.

    *UPDATE*

    This is a rough zoo layout with some renamed exhibits and the addition of a new exhibit, "Polar Passage." Any thoughts, suggestions for improvement, etc.?

    You will probably cover this in the Polar passage post but what’s Junction springs? Also how’d ya make that map? I want to make a map for my fantasy zoo “The Las Vegas zoo” (check the thread out) but I don’t have photoshop.

    Junction Springs is a central plaza area with gift shops, food courts, and paths connecting to other exhibits. It's based off the Junction Plaza at the North Carolina Zoo.

    I created this map by using the curve line tool under shapes in Microsoft PowerPoint.

    Polar Passage is largely modeled after the North Carolina Zoo's Rocky Coast exhibit. Seals and Sea Lions share a large pool habitat with topside and underwater viewing while the Polar Bears get their own habitat with a deep rocky pool and imitation tundra with substrate and conifers. Arctic Foxes and Snowy Owls have their own mesh canopy exhibits to the sides and the seabirds have a climate-controlled indoor exhibit.

    Mammals
    • Arctic Fox
    • California Sea Lion
    • Harbor Seal
    • Polar Bear
    Birds
    • Horned Puffin
    • Parakeet Auklet
    • Snowy Owl
    • Thick-billed Murre
    (Thinking of including Sea Ducks and Sea Otters as well)

    I've gotten an expanded list of mammals down. I'm currently working on reptiles and birds.
