Note for reviewers

Each zone card here is static for the concept; on a live build these would be the Zoo's own exhibit records (it already keeps exhibits as structured content), so a marketing edit updates the card, the menu, and the Animal Finder together. Photography is the Zoo's own, reused in this concept.
