State of chaos
This game was big on Zoochat, and I thought you guys would enjoy it too. Here are the rules:

One person makes a challenge for a zoo exhibit wing and sets a deadline, and people design the exhibit (with words, don't draw it out, it's not fair to those of us that aren't nerds :ROFL: ) and when the deadline is up, whoever set the challenge picks a winner, and the winner sets the next one.

Here's the first one:


The wing must include at least 7 fish species, 5 Reptiles/Amphibians, 6 mammals, and 3 bird species. Obviously they don't all have to be in the same enclosure, but you can mix compatible species, but no more than 5 species per enclosure. The twist: it's a South America wing, so all the species need to be found in South America!! Deadline is Wednesday at 6 PM Eastern US time. Go!
 
My exhibit will start outside. First exhibit to your right (because EVERY good zoo needs them) is an exhibit with Golden Lion Tamarins and some common squirrel monkeys. To your left is a breathtaking vulture aviary with turkey vultures, black vultures and king vultures, with high roosts and rocky ground for meat to be thrown upon. Both exhibits will have indoor sectors in the case of cold. After this, we enter a pavillion, where you are in a glass tube going through a massive freshwater exhibit with south american manatees, redtail catfish, pacu, silver arowana and some adonis plecostomus. You go through the end of the tube to find yourself on an elevated bridge, with tall fences on either side to keep unwanted objects and people from going over, with green iguanas, taken from abandoned pets, roaming the exhibit, along with information about keeping reptiles as pets, and to do your bloody research! at the end of the bridge, a set of stairs go down into the smaller fish exhibits, with a piranha tank and a community with assorted plecos, angelfish, silver dollars and a massive shoal of serpae tetras. It continues to a split room exhibit, with caimans on one side and on the other there is an underwater section with mata mata turtles and an above ground arboreal jungle with knight anoles. Near the exit there are two small (around 40 gallons) tanks with cane toads and Darwin frogs with a section explaining the treats to frogs from viruses.

^Hows that?
