Just thought I'd say this. It is Pygmy not Pigmy. ;)

I'm sure there is a small sheep or something that you could use. or maybe some kind of duck or goose. I know ducks and geese can be a little dangerous, but the guests should abuse the animals they won't get hurt.

i might just resize the exhibit, so it fits the turtles and won't look less empty.

Hey guys! What animals do you suggest from south America and south Asia/ Oceania. Preferably no larger then a tapir or a rhino, so no elephants.

Not sure what you intend to do with this, but what about birds: toucans, macaws, hornbills, birds of paradise, pigeons, lyrebirds, etc. There are a lot of beautiful birds available from this regions. So maybe you can do something with those.

P.S.: I believe all of these ara smaller than rhino's and tapirs. Unless you want to use an elephantbird, but last time I checked, those were extinct. :P

Like I said then, the birds. Perfect for indoor enclosures. And maybe add some small cats the get some variation like jungle cat or ocelot.

You have to put them in different exhibits. xD

Like one big building with different indoor enclosures.

You can do a walkthrough kind of thing and still have different enclosures for the animals disguised with natural barriers. I once saw a map of a rainforest walkthrough that had a lake with caimans, some monkeys, capybaras, ocelots, anteaters and some birds like rosette spoonbills. They were separated from each other, but were all in the same indoor building and you can see all of them doing the walkthrough.

i'd say monkeys (not many species or they may argue), birds like macaws and toucans, tortoises, maybe iguanas and (why not ?) a lake with ducks and cichlids.

Why not creating a pool with manatees and other south-american fishes, sorta like in Burger's Zoo.

Could someone give me inspiration? ;-; I wanted to make aquarium for medium-sized animal like Cryptoclidus or some species of shark. I'm unskilled in making aquariums that I need some suggestions for building it, viewing areas and foliage placement >.<
Thanks.
