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.

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

I’m so excited!!

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 :)

Asia deserves more land for animals

[@medpv]

The no zoo needs to bring back white rhinos

I hope there is capuchin monkeys
