If I were you, I'd put cave creatures in there. More dorfy I feel

I personally just can't bring myself to put above ground creatures in underground zoos. And I throw excess kittens in a volcano.

A zoo is a fine construction, but beware!

I put a goblin hammerlord in a zoo once. One of the children found him very interesting and visited him almost daily .. well.. things turned ugly when a tantrumer destroyed the hammerlords cage and he attacked the child.

The child was saved and didn't come to any harm, since there was a party in the zoo and the military was present .. it could still be a dangerous situation, especially if you trap an FB ..

Well, what do you expect when you let the brat poke the prisoners with his rotten little toy axe EVERY DAY.

Me and my friend have been planning to make an under ground zoo.  Probably 20x20x3 in dimensions or something like that, we would make a glass dome under ground and create a habitat for animals.  We would pump water into it and make make fake waterfalls and shit.

Sounds awesome, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to put in anything hostile (goblins/trolls/fbs/ettins etc.). Had this issue when making a goblin pit for marksdwarf practice - different z-levels and glass don't make a difference for dwarves getting scared off, and neither does disarming.
That said, a natural indoor game reserve would be sweet

I am planning on making a zoo with the captured leader of an enemy civ (frogman law giver from Defense Mod) as a centerpiece. If you have two cages right next to each other, can you move an enemy from one to the other safely?
