An aviary would work. Since it is injured, it would be best if it was next to a clinic, and depending on it's condition, the aviary may be out of guests reach.

Would this foliage combo do for a zoo in New Delhi? BTW, the water is coastal's with some water hyacinth (Not the flower :P )

(Note: this is just a quick bundle of the plants that I put outside the zoo)

That looks pretty good Pacific Time! It really flows nicely together :D I hope you will show this zoo. Only thing, I think reef water would suit more than coastal

I am in shock. I built an elevated, enclosed connection between exhibits, and the animals actually use it!

So I've been trying different ways to make an indoor leopard exhibit, but it's just not working out. I know African Leopards are typical kept indoors, but do you guys think it would be alright to keep one outdoors, if the exhibit is like my Cheetah enclosure, just with higher walls?

I just built my African leopard exhibit, and most of it is outdoors. I would use whatever fence you want, with an electrified cable at the top :)

I wouldn't, Bull Sharks are very aggressive and eat other shark species (sandbar included).

Depending where your zoo is located, I would go with a bigger outdoor exhibit and a smaller indoor/night quarter one. Both should have couple logs so the meerkats can dig/search for grubs around them. I would also include rock of different size and height so one of the meerkat can be sentinelle and the others bask under the sun (nothing too close of the fences so the meerkats can not escape, same for the logs).

The fences should be deep enough in the ground to prevent escape and also high enough for the same reason. A mix of plain and glass fences should be perfect. Meerkats being small but very active, you could create two or more viewing areas for your guests.

Couple medium and tall grasses bunches, maybe a small bush or too would be perfect. Use dirt and sand mostly for the floor of the exhibit, water hole isnt necesserary (only a bowl would be ok for their needs). A small hill would also being good for them. A small exhibit would be perfect for a pair, bigger if you got a troupe.

Some zoo also keep them with African/European porcupine, with separate night quarters.

Try looking at real life pictures of that area. That helps when trying to decide a foliage combo :)

Thanks. Now I got an idea for trees. Should I do a background Table Mountain?

Can I keep a tamandua and a boa in the same exhibit because the tamandua is too big for the boa to eat?
