Zootopia uses mirrors, tunnels and shelters to shield creatures from human gazes

Danish architects, Bjarke Ingels Group, came up with the concept design as part of the overhaul of Givskud Zoo
300 acre complex is divided into continents - Africa, Asia, and the Americas - with a huge circular plaza at its centre
Each continent can be accessed by visitors using a maze of ramps, bridges, and tunnels hidden in the ground
Visitors can travel by bike, foot or boat, and hide inside shelters, pods and hollowed logs as the animals pass by

This looks pretty impressive and very futuristic.

Not impressed at all with this quote "The recent news that animals were abused during wild late night parties at London Zoo is just the most recent example of why animal conservationists may need need to rethink their strategy on keeping animals in captivity"  Mad Crying or Very sad
