The Mad Meerkat enclosure is 15m2. This enclosure caters for 3 males and 3 females. The enclosure represents a dessert landscape. There is sand all over the floor with desert hills for burrowing. There are rocks surrounding it along with smaller hills as lookouts. They will be low enough that they will not be able to jump out at the onlookers. Around them there will be some glass with bars for the onlookers to lean on. The meerkat enclosure will be fun for watching the intricate system of meerkat groups.
The Courageous Chimps enclosure is 300m2. Inside it there is 2 male and 2 female chimpanzees. The enclosure has sturdy ironwood trees in it giving them shade and a place to sleep. The ground has some dirt and an irrigation system to water the trees and to mist the enclosure. There will be a glass bridge that is also a 2-way mirror going through the centre of the enclosure for people to watch their closest relatives.
The Koala Kingdom enclosure is 100m2. Inside it is 6 koalas. There is half males and half females. There are large gumtrees for the koalas to climb. To prevent fighting there is a sound system which, in the case of fighting, it will play a sound that stops koala fights. In the middle of the enclosure there is a glass bridge made of a 2-way mirror for onlookers to see them. The enclosure will be a great place for hurt koalas to rejuvenate themselves.
The Daring Dingoes enclosure is 225m2. There are 4 dingoes, 2 female and 2 males. Inside the enclosure there is a large desert landscape with large hills for them to hide in. There are also rock outcrops. They can sleep either under the rocks or in the hills. The enclosure is large enough for them to run around in a good amount. There are some cacti and a small pool. In the middle of the enclosure there is a large glass bridge far enough away from the dingoes for them to be attacked. The bridge is a 2-way mirror so the dingoes cannot see the people. This will be a great way to watch one of the apex predators of the desert.
The Crazy Cassowaries enclosure is 225m2. There are 2 of them. A male and a female. Inside the enclosure is a tropical rainforest layout. There are banana trees along with mango trees for feeding the cassowaries. There is a large empty area for the cassowaries to run and exercise. The ground is covered in fallen leaves and dirt to give the cassowaries a soft place to sleep. There is a bridge made of two-way mirror glass 3 metres above their exercise area to watch the high speeds of the cassowary.
The Whopping Wedge-Tailed Eagle enclosure is 750m3. There are 2 Wedge-Tailed Eagles of separate genders. There is a large desert landscape like the dingo enclosure. The enclosure is a very large enclosure with glass at the top strong enough to keep in a rhino. They are fed with European Rabbits as they breed at extreme rates. If we were to introduce new wedge tails, we would need a separate enclosure. In the centre of the enclosure there is a 2-way mirror bridge for people to watch one of the apex predators of the Australian desert.
