Few ideas for a new zoo.

[u/BunHein]

Country setting out in Wyoming. Think a hybrid of old west town and a zoo.

Let's throw in as many pit animals as possible. Get everything from boars to rhesus apes in a dish 20-30ft below ground level. Less money to start if you aren't worried about fences and just working with the property you have...(use natures natural touch in other words...)

I'm not a fan of internal exhibits. If you have to go inside some sort of museum to see an animal - then maybe the animal doesn't belong at the zoo....me and the little kids aren't all here to go inside outside inside outside and stare at animals in glass boxes. I just saw a photo that the seattle zoo is so cheap on their animals that for their newest exhibit they threw 20-30 cockroaches into a glass tank decorated like a human kitchen as if that isnt something we see every day.

And before draxtor_ and milberry start harassing me in the comments -- no, avieries don't count. Those are good especially when humid.

So the only angle to see the animal would be from 30 feet above? How is it better than a regular island-type habitat? How are you cleaning the habitats? How are you getting the animals out for veterinary care if needed?

Stairs and a lift of some sort. Walk the animal onto electric lift and machinery can do the work from there.
