Located in a grassland-type biome with a climate ideally suited for African savannah species.

This zoo is a little different than most in design. Towards the entrance are the indoor exhibits, buildings and small enclosures. Beyond these lie the main part of the zoo. The main section is built around a hike-and-bike trail; long enclosures curve around the sprawling paths , allowing room for multispecies exhibits where the animals can easily get out of sight and spread out.  This allows for enrichment as there are areas they do not explore every day, as well as visual barriers needed to prevent stress. Because the habitats are long and somewhat shallow, guests can usually find a good vantage point to view the animals but will probably have to walk to get there. 

The design of the zoo makes it uniquely well suited for hoofstock, which form the backbone of the zoo's collection. The zoo's focus is on breeding critically endangered species by allowing the animals enough space to form territories and not feel stressed by their surroundings. 

Zoo goals:

• House as many antelope species as we can with a focus on those in need of conservation
• Have realistic sex ratios for herd animals (at least 2-3 females per male) 
•  Have multi species exhibits based on location and compatibility whenever reasonably possible, for enrichment and education
• Where sufficiently secure, use exhibit moats and water features to house aquatic turtle species
• Obtain lineaged animals when possible for realism
• Use all quest tokens earned
• Highlight exhibit design with an exhibit quest for every exhibit
• As zoo reputation and experience increases, eventually find funding to appropritely house challenging species such as giraffe and elephants
• By demonstrating successful releases of endangered species, earn the trust of the conservation community and eventually take part in a de-extinction effort
