Think outside the box. Look at other peoples and real life zoos. Then take some ideas and experiment combining them together. I often try to make it totally different from other entrances , yet still realistic. Use the foliage to "jazz" it up a water feature can also make it interesting. |

For me real life zoo entrances are best examples. My favourites are always the simplest ones since the zoo is not about standing at the entrance and worshipping the architecture

Oh the given species list wasn't enough to fill up a large zoo, so I'm switching it to medium. I'd like to restart on it anyway, so it's all good. |

Thank you for the set, Azrael!

A serval enclosure needn't be huge, but must be covered, with a suitably large indoor shelter (viewing optional), and numerous platforms and logs on which to climb. Foliage should consist mainly of low-lying plants with a few good sized shade trees (if the exhibit roof allows, otherwise alongside it). A pond is not need and won't be utilized but may make the enclosure look prettier. An addax enclosure should be wide and open with a few large shade trees and sparse ground foliage (as the ungulates would eat it). An indoor barn large enough to house all animals should be provided. |

Depends where is your zoo/park located For example Cracow Zoological Garden has a simple enclosure with some remnants of tree stumps, not even highly fenced, just with a dry 'moat' on visitor side and a barn in the back:http://www.zoo-krakow.pl/images/3-big/adax2_.jpg http://www.zoo-krakow.pl/images/3-big/adax1_.jpg http://mrowkojad.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/z17.jpg Singular trees provide shade for the enclosure

Thanks Sheather and MrGorsh. I will use these ideas. (I was planning for the location of my zoo to be in South Africa.) |
