Is a walkthrough aviary with Common Buzzards (Buteo buteo) a realistic thing ?
I know Parc des Oiseaux has one such aviary with many birds of prey from Europe, but I couldn't find much about it (except for some pics of it, but not enough to get an idea).

Maybe I should start off my zoo with small exhibits, like grey crowned cranes and mongooses?

This is supposed to be some kind of old style jaguar exhibit. It's just a prototype, but I plan to use something like this in my next zoo, and I was looking for opinions on the design.

Make it a lot smaller, get rid of the pool, branches, and platforms, and make the indoor exhibit almost a 1x1 square. That's how you do old style exhibits for predators.

Guys, does anyone know where I can find some good bases for signs that aren't Sophie's or Robbie's? I've seen a few where there are, for example, three small vertical boxes and things like that and I'd really like to know!

Does anyone know what kind of "simple" fence I could use for a not very elaborated Jaguar exhibit ?
Is a height 3 chainlink with top bent inwards enough, or will they climb out ?

Personally I think it would be enough. Maybe add the mesh roof 1 square in around the exhibit?

The AZA are getting care sheets for animals and has a care sheet for lions, with a jaguar one, among others in progress.

Can I keep free roaming Squirrel Monkeys at a zoo.

If they're native, then yes. But even trained monkeys shouldn't be trusted with freedom. Besides, unless there's a giant aviary over the zoo they could be preyed upon by the native animals. Also they could bite the guests out of fear.

Just playing with ideas. :)

This isn't a real exhibit; I like to make concept pictures to use as inspiration for the rest of the park.

So I'm working on a large savannah exhibit, like the "Giants of the Savannah" at Dallas zoo.
I was thinking of using this fence by Zoker for the background:

My question is, what kind of fence could I put on the guests side, as long as it allows a good view and matches with the green one ?
