I wanted to make Baird's Tapir exhibit, how should it look like? I'm not good in getting ideas xD

Well tapirs like water so what ever you do make sure you make a pond for them to swim a refresh. Maybe with an underwater viewing area?

I have seen a few RL Tapir Exhibits and all the ones I have seen have been pretty bare! xD
But then I have seen pictures of others that are very lush. Just make sure you include some water and you've got a winner. A little foliage is probably also needed otherwise they will have no privacy.

I'll give you an idea for the tapir exhibit based on my local zoo that I haven't used but wanted to but have never gotten the oppurtunity. Have a cave like shelter right infront of the viewing area so that part encourages the animals to sleep there. Then add a pool by the other viewing area around the corner. With the corner part using the placeable waterfall right coming off the cave so you can see animals infront of it sleeping infront of the waterfall and then you can also see the animals playing in the pool.

it depends if you are making it more tundra-like or rocky coast-like, if you get what i mean. usually i prefer the second way.

It would be rocky coast. The Ice Tundra ones always seem a little boring to me. xD

then i think you could go with a tank with rocks covering the tankwalls and them rock islands placed next to each other to give the impression they are mianland. for the water biome use alpine ;)

Could someone please suggest some good fences to use in a rehab center?

EDIT: And it's just a normal one, based in California, USA, and it takes in like injured sea-life as well as as the norm.

The white plaster building set seems quite popular in those making Rehab centres.

You can try something like this Chalico:

And Hippo if the rehab center is going to be for aquatic animals you should use a lot of tanks and pools more than fences :P
