    If you’re going to create a fantasy zoo you’re going to have to be more descriptive than just listing species. It’s one of the rules for this subforum:

    To add on to this, one way to do so would be to put it in a walkthrough-style description (which oils be split up into section), this way you could give descriptions of the exhibits and add the rights amounts of detail.

    Yes. I was going to describe the exhibits, just not at the moment.

    Here's a description of the first exhibit:

    Monkey Island

    The first exhibit that you see beyond the entrance is a small rocky island that opened with the zoo in 1976, which is home to a large group of Japanese Macaque. Usually, monkeys live in more tropical parts of the world, but not these guys. They are the northernmost primate besides humans and live in habitats that vary from subtropical forests in the southern populations to subarctic forests in the northern populations. Zoo New Hampshire is home to 12 macaques:10 females and 2 males. The zoo is also a prime breeding site for the species and has had over 50 macaque births since 2012.
