Depends, do you already have a foliage combo for it? Do you want it to be tropical, temperate, boreal,...? Most real zoos are built next to large cities. Pretty much anything coastal should do :)

'Kay then. Places I can come up with are North American west coast (Vancouver, Seattle) or east coast (Boston, Philadelphia, Montreal, New York, etc), North-west European Coast (Hamburg, Kiel, Rotterdam, Antwerp, London, Dublin, Edinburgh, Copenhagen, Calais, etc) or North-east Asia (Tokyo, Kyoto, Beijing, Tsingtao, Seoul, etc)

Well, first I have to show like 15 exhibits of DinoVenture :P Plus this thing needs to be completely foliated, a second map (I have a species list of over 70 species) and some more details.

i think Ocean World had more than 70 species, yet i managed to fit it in a single map. of course, if you have plenty of cetaceans exhibits with offshow and quarantine pools and such , that will require a lot more space

depends on which species of flamingo we are talking about.

with greater flamingoes, i would say pelicans, ibises, shoebills and some ducks or geese. hippos are nice too if you have enough space.
the caribbean flamingo could do well even with macaws or even sea turtles if the climate allows that.
andean flamingoes could go well with geese from the same regions and maybe land animals like guanacos and rheas.

Well, as you can see, I already have three exhibits with at least one off-show and medical pool :P On this map I only have like 20 species on this map so far.

That map looks really good Stephen. I also have plans on making a Marine Park in the distant future xD I'm sure i will use your map as a reference because i never try to make this kind of parks before :P And there is a Mundo Marino at my country and is not far away from my city. I went there just once when i was a kid and the only thing i remember about it were the orcas :D I hope there are some orcas in your zoo too :)

Yep, a group of five so far. Upper enclosure, the one with the four pools :P I hope to start showing this park in August, maybe even late July :P And for inspiration, you should certainly look at Sophie's parks and Mr. Weasel's Waterworld. Those inspired me a lot. And I had the name because of that Mundo Marino xD
