    Four zoos have advanced from the previous two parts. Kronberg remains a big candidate, but other zoos also have good enclosures.

    Unfortunately i haven`t seen any of these enlcosures in person yet, but all of them look great. Even though i think, judging from all the pictures i have seen, that Dresden's elephant house makes the most out of it`s capabilities. I think the plans for the new pachyderm house in the Tierpark Berlin seem very promising, so this could be a future candidate for this list.
