Definitely, so atleast if they get too hot in the sun they can, as Furka said, bask in the pool.

I think, for the pond. My pond outside looks a bit like this ( You can trust me, because I live in England :P ) -

Most of our foliage near water, is pretty much like this, and willow trees.

Dammit Robbie, I wanna move to England and get a pond like that. Possibly bigger, since the bigger the pond, the more fish I can have in it xD

It's really great Nils, I pretty love the roof detail you used :)

I'm also in the start of a new zoo, but this time I plan to make a big zoo. It's located in the east USA coast... Animals you recommend?

That'd be good furka ! Fishing is very common here. tbh. The park near me has a nice variety.
But there's also so much rubbish, thrown into the rivers and ponds ... xP

Just have a few questions....:

-Would Ocelots and North Sulawesi Babruisa's be okay with an outdoor exhibit in Kentucky, USA?
-If not, what sort of foliage would you use for a big tropical house?

They will be in different exhibits by the way

Yeah, they can have a outdoor environment, but need a indoor house (not much because weather, just noticed that place is hotter than where I live... in Brazil!)...

I'd like to build an enclosure for southern ground hornbills.

-Do they need an aviary or can they live in an open enclosure?

-I've read that they live in groups of 5 to 10 birds : So what size approximatively would fit for an enclosure that houses 7 or 8 birds?

-Do they need a particular facilities to nest; if yes, what type?

-Could they share an enclosure with some other animals like African Wild Ass?

-Do these birds need indoor facilities?

Any extra information someone could give me? :)

Thanks by advance for helping me :)

I only know the answer to one of those questions truthfully, sorry but-

-No, they don't have to have an aviary from what I can see on Google Images in real zoos.

I hope you find out some more answers for the questions :)

That coder over there

I don't think they need indoor facilities and I think they can be with African wild asses considering that I saw an exhibit of them with gorillas
