    Indomalay

    IT'S FINALLY HERE, IT'S FINALLY HERE, IT'S FINALLY HERE, ITS INDOMALAY! I HAVE FINALLY DECIDED TO MAKE IT, WOOHOO! Anyways, yeah, I finally decided "Its time to finally continue this", if anyone thought i wasnt going to continue it, your wrong, I just got REALLY burnt out and felt like I had to do it, but anyways, since this will be probably the one of the biggest (if not the biggest) Area of the zoo, it will be updated little by little over the next few days. Anyways, (it's good to say this again) ON WITH THE ZOO!

    Indomalay
    As you (maybe) could have guessed, Indomalay is based off of the Indomalaya ecozone, comprising of the indian subcontinent, indonesia, malaysia, the phillipines, southern china, and a whole bunch of other things.

    The Area would start off with a bridge going over the stream, and the path going down untill you came to the first exhibit, a large, 5 acre paddock for Axis Deer, Blackbuck, Indian Hog Deer, Swamp Deer, Indian Peafowl, and Indian Wild Boar, Across from it would be a 5 acre paddock for Indian Rhinoceros, aswell as a 1 acre indoor Rhino Barn, which would have small exhibits for Indian Pangolin, Indian Giant Squirrels, Kondana Soft Furred Rats, Indian Crested Porcupines, Indian Cobras, and Clouded Monitors. Further down the path, there would be a 10 acre, forested paddock, complete with a pond, waterfall, and enrichment for Asian Elephants. There would also be a 2 acre barn for the Elephants, with small exhibits for Indian Star Tortoises, Malabar Gray Hornbills, Leopard Geckos (Normal, Albino, Patternless, Mack Snow, Tangerine, and Sunglow Morphs), Peninsular Rock Agamas, Large Indian Civets, Green Avadavats, and Chinese Pangolins. Across from the Elephant Paddock would be three exhibits, one for Guar, one for Nilgai, and one for Wild Water Buffalo. After this, the path would diverge and then come back together, with an exhibit for Dholes on the right, Asian Black Bears on the Left, and in the center, a large, naturalistic river enclosure for Gharials, Indian Eyed Turtles, Indian Roofed Turtles, Indian Softshell Turtles, and Asian Giant Softshell Turtles. After this, the Path would turn to the left and go two ways, Keep going left for the Gir Forest Exhibit, and right to bypass it. Going on the left path, you would come to a building with glass fronted veiwing for the Sloth Bear Exhibit, with aviaries for Indian Pittas, Rock Bush Quails, Brown Fish Owls, and Indian Eagle Owls in the wall. After this, the path would go outdoors, with veiwing for the sloth bears, on the side opposite to the sloth bears, there would be an Exhibit for Mugger Crocodiles, with a smaller exhibit for Indian Gray Mongooses next to it, aswell as aviaries for Bonelli's eagles and Crested Serpent Eagles. The path would go up untill you come to an exhibit for Gray Langurs, and then, the path would come to the star exhibit, a large, 10 acre exhibut housing a Pride of Asiatic Lions. After this, the path would meet up with the path used to bypass the Gir Forest Exhibit. After this, the path would come to the next major part of indomalay, Realm of the Tiger, featuring 5 of the 6 living tiger subspecies, aswell as some other cat species. Realm of the Tiger would start off with a large exhibit for Bengal Tigers, with the path going around it, with Indian Leopards on the right side, and Jungle Cats on the Left. After this, There would be a curved exhibit for Malayan Tigers, With Clouded Leopards, Marbled Cats, and Fishing Cats near it, Across from the Malayan Tigers would be Sumatran Tigers, with Leopard Cats, Asian Golden Cats, and Sunda Clouded Leopards Nearby. Up the path, there would be 2 exhibits, one for South China Tigers, and the other for Indochinese Tigers. Realm of the Tiger would end off with an exhibit for Rusty Spotted Cats. After this, the path would come to a large exhibit for Malayan Tapirs, Indian Muntjacs, and Greater Mouse Deer. After this, the path would come to a large exhibit for Müller's Bornean Gibbons, Lar Gibbons, Agile Gibbons, and Siamang. Next to it would be 2 smaller exhibits for Dusky Leaf Monkeys and Maroon Leaf Monkeys. Then there would be the massive Bornean Orangutan exhibit, with everything an orangutan could ever want, a large, natural, 4 acre exhibit, all kinds of enrichment, hiding places for their food, straw, twigs, and leaves for making nests, logs, nets, bars, live trees, and other things to climb on, AND SO MUCH MORE! Anyways, next to the Orangutans would be Proboscis Monkeys. After this, the path would turn right, and along the path would be a 6 acre exhibit for Sumatran Rhinoceroses on the right, and Banteng on the left. In the Sumatran Rhinoceros Barn would be exhibits for Moonrat, Sunda Pangolin, Sunda Flying Lemur, Malayan Forest Geckos, Tokay Geckos, Rice Paddy Snakes, and Asian Forest Tortoises. After this, the path would turn left an come to Exhibits for Crab Eating, Pig Tailed, Rhesus, Lion Tailed, and Moor Macaques. Across from the Macaques would be a large pond for False Gharials.

    10 acres for the lions seems excessive, unless you are really going to work
    on enrichment to get them moving. I would be afraid you would have a great
    looking exhibit with tiny dots of lions way way way in the distance.
    Also not to quibble but given the huge range of the area both the birds
    and the herps could easily be doubled (species wise) and not even come close to a representation of the total.

    Considering that the user hasn't been on since 2016, I don't think there will be another post.
