Although there is a good list at The Showroom concerning the animals used in Australian/New Zeeland zoos ( due their strict import regulations ), I was wondering if there's a more up to date and less "Zoo Tycoon"-oriented so to speak version of it elsewhere ? The current one found at TS focusses primarily on the animals available at that time, but I'd like to know if there is an "official" list somewhere. :)

Well basically, Australia and New Zeeland both have very strict animal import regulations. Zoos can't get every animal they want, only a select amount of animals are allowed in those zoos, which is basically what I'm looking for, a list of animals that are allowed in Australia and New Zeeland :P

I'll keep looking around too if that helps. ;)

I was wondering if anyone had any idea for a mongoose enclosure? Every time I try to make one it always comes out so bland. :/

Hey guys I was wondering what large exotic mammals can survive in a zoo which is often snow covered and a cold climate in general?

Moose, bears, wolves, ibex, snow leopard, seals, and other deer would be good choices.

A siberian tiger, snow leopard, any tibetan animal, a polar bear and penguins are probably one of those xD But i don't know what do you mean by exotic

What about animals like elephants though and other more tropical species? Like what's been done before in cold climate zoos?

I literally just made a water mongoose enclosure. It is almost done. I can send it to you to look at if you like. :)

Well if you keep tropical animals in zoos where is always cold and snowy climate then you need to build indoor enclosures and provide heat and humidity. They can't stay / survive outside for a long time. I don't know if there are exceptions to that. There probably are but i don't know them. Usually in zoos when winter comes, the tropical animals are moved into the indoor exhbitis and just let them out a short time every day. That is why indoor enclosure's facilities are as important as outdoor enclosure's facilities.
