I'm making a zoo in the style of an old zoo that had been refurbished. I've figured out what do do with the buildings but I don't know what to do with the extra space I have and with the bird house in the upper right.

With the bird house: Make a walkthrough with a mix of passiformes and non-passiformes

For the rest: Forest walks where guests can see local wildlife

There's all sorts of things to add. You could add gift shops, cafes and restaurants, a museum, a veterinary clinic, a breeding building, a special gazebo wedding area, botanical gardens, themed gardens and plenty more.

How about other kinds of exhibits? Like how about circling places in the map?

Try squeezing in aviaries, small aquariums or animal houses enclosed by forest in open areas

Any Southern Californian fish that can live in this tank? (Yes the tank walls aren't final)

Don't know anything about fish, sorry...
Do you know any modern cape buffalo or just any buffalo exhibit that's not a big savanna combination thing?

Antwerp is going to put cape buffalo in a large aviary (I believe it'll be partly walkthrough) with small birds. Forest buffalo (a subspecies of African buffalo) have been combined multiple times with red river hogs. Larger birds (spoonbills, ibises, ducks, pelicans) should probably work too

Posted ImageShould I split this exhibit with an Asian lion pride on one side and Sumatran tigers on the other or will that make it look too small?

That would make it too small. Just keep it as one exhibit for the lions

Isn't that mostly concrete with a water "pool"? Or do you want to make it visible for guests? Then I would use rocks and a tank wall, where the guests can see the seals swim.

What should an Eastern Barred Numbat exhibit look like ? Can they have an outdoor exhibit ?

I am slightly unclear as to what animal you are referring to; do you mean a banded numbat or an eastern barred bandicoot?
