The world’s largest zoo is about to become larger!

Love to see a NA Moose exhibit added.

[@melissabraglin8978]

Ohhh yes!!! Would love to see moose.

[@spacechicken527]

I think moose do very poorly in captivity... at least that's what I've heard

[@carminecdinoproductions]

I think Asia should be near Africa and Australia while the South America and Amazon section should be near North America!

[@stevegordon9207]

Cannot wait for this!

[@carminecdinoproductions]

Me too!

My favorite animal in Asia so far is the great Asian crane

[@Yu0358]

you will see me soon~🤜

[@invisibleman8829]

Yeah ❤

[@Jason88215]

10 acre is way too small for an Asian expansion, especially when compared to the NA and Africa continents and given the amount of animals it will display

[@CaffeineHag]

I'd bet like every thing they've set up that 10 acres is just a start to things. The Zoo owns even more land than most realize and has so much room to keep expanding and rearranging things :)

[@Schoolpizzatime]

Asia deserves more land for animals

[@medpv]

The no zoo needs to bring back white rhinos

I hope there is capuchin monkeys
