My Zoo ~ Great Barrier Reef Orb: The Design

If I'm counting correctly, this is the seventh biome presented in my zoo. In order, the first six were: 1) Australia, 2) Amazonia, 3) North American Prairie/Western Valley-Mountain (granted a 3 in 1 biome), 4) Appalachia, 5) Madagascar, and 6) Saharan Oasis.

This is first non-terrestrial orb.


It is my desire that visitors experience this eco-system in all of its vivid glory.

The dimensions are the same as the Saharan Oasis giving this ecosystem the general size of a modern sports arena. This would make it the single largest aquarium in the world.

Yet humbly built upon the backs of impressive predecessors and archetypes like the Beijing Aquarium in China and the Georgia Aquarium in the United States. Both of these aquariums include tanks with walk through glass passages. The difference between them and mine is the scope. The passthrough is the width of a 4 lane divided highway.

Located in the north-western quadrant of the zoo, it is found between the Madagascar and North American Prairie Orbs.
